THANKSGIVING WITH PTSD

Shades of grey depicts the ominous backdrop of his world

No vibrant colors or even well defined blacks and whites

Just continuing uneven days of melancholic hopelessness 

Replaying in the depth of the night those hidden memories

Like long lost cousins they slip into the confidence of sleep

Fitful slumber no reprieve from these hopeless recollections

Thanksgiving also no holiday in his bleak world of anguish

Just another day in the world of an abiding victim of the past.
