Nothing Gold can stay
And now here we are. There’s something weird without the adrenaline and pushing muscles to go beyond myself and the runner’s high. It’s withdrawal and depression relapse times two. Like addiction it doesn’t go away.
PTSD came from soldier life. From having guns pointed in your face and explosions surrounding you and hands & fists … and watching buildings being destroyed and … watching your partner … fall stunned … body shaking … then lifeless. There’s something about their blood spilling out … staining the Earth … screaming cells leaving one spirit … for Earth Spirit … and the last look in their eyes.
This isn’t civilian post traumatic stress disorder
It’s Post Traumatic War Stress
PTWS
It doesn’t have a ‘ring’ to the letters
PTWS
It’s not a disorder
It’s a symptom from the war machine
It’s the most intense internal fight for your life
22 a day is twenty-two many
Its time to come Home …
