Release
Would anyone like to join me in a good cry today
and let it wash some of your inner turmoil away.
The things we bury, the things we hide
often tear us all apart from inside.
When it comes to PTSD there's almost and unwritten code
"If you can't find a way to download you can explode!"
And lash out towards your friends and family
Confusing them with the actions they see.
PTSD causes guilt, hurt, low self esteem and rage
and the traumas you've seen are an endless page.
Is there a way to become released from the torment within
which makes you believe your service was a Sin.
I'm sure you've asked for forgiveness I'm sure you have prayed.
Over the loss of a comrade who was untimely slayed
I know you prayed they found Heaven you prayed they found Peace.
And these words of prayer were the first steps to your Release...
