Life With PTSD

Inside the mind of ptsd

By K FPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Suffering with Depression

Got me feeling inadequate

Got a hand on the razor blade trying to

Stop my demons from dragging it

Feel the pressure that’s building

Can’t see when my light is dimming

Can’t get a grip on myself as im losing hope help im slipping

Was I really to be blamed,

If so I’m ashamed

I’m the reason you’re suffering

Yet you’ve left me so drained.

Am I actually innocent

Or is these voices the truth

I can’t seem to escape them

When they’re stuck on a loop

Never understood the shit

That I’ve been put through

Time to trigger that PTSD

Without having a clue
