PTSD



I can’t go to bed,

Cause the things in my head,

Make it hard to fall asleep.



It’s like it happened today,

and it won’t go away.

Don’t ask me to try counting sheep.



It’s a part of the past,

They say the memories won’t last.

Times a great healer.



When you’re lying in bed ,

They can get in your head,

But only if you go to sleep.

Some people can close their eyes and get instant wide screen.
Unfortunately everybody deals with it differently.

Jim, it took me a minute to figure out what PTSD stood for (guess I had a blonde day with that one). Thanks for describing exactly what it's like sometimes; I had a bout with PTSD ten years ago.
