PTSD Haikus 7.1

When the minutest of details - an action, a sound, a smell - can trigger the most horrifying remembrance...no reliving of an occurrence. That is the definition of hell...in my opinion. Such warm and fierce hugs for you, my friend

we all have our own personal hell - it would be hell if it was a permanent state of mind - so it is just shit (lol) Huge Big Hugs :-)

These poems are so hard to read it hurts to even allow the pictures to enter my mind. Your experience was a living horror that angers me so much I want to do horrible things to everyone who abused you!
I get so mad that commenting on the high quality of these Haikus seems pointless. You have proven time and again you can take on the demons that haunt you! You're courage to talk about it is commendable David!!!

sometime awareness only gets raised through poetry and talking and hopefully help is made easily available :-) thank you my friend :-)

David, mo chara chotha`imid....my heart hurts, and my very soul feels your pain and torment every time i read these postings! When even the slightest trigger factors can make daily life such an extremely difficult challenge for you, i simply cannot imagine how you manage to persevere! Yet.....you continue to prove, thru your poetry, that you are definitely a survivor!

I admire the enormous amount of inner-strength, and courage that you possess---not only in being able to survive  the horrible abuse that you suffered, but in being to share. these accounts with us, as well!

I just wish i could gather you close...  in a bizillion bunches of enormous, enfolding and caring HUGS!!

the support I get from you and others here makes life a lot easier and i am thankful for that :-) Huge Big Hugs :-)

These things never let us go, we just manage somehow.  I admire your strength.  Speak out for all those that suffer in silence.

Thank you for the write.

we all survive how we can and all differently the most important thing we can do is survive :-) Thank you my friend :-)

David, you have a way with these haikus that kicks the crap out of any others I’ve read...such few words yet they have the impact of an atom bomb...your courage and determination are so admirable...heart aches again and again with each stanza and the impact of felt long after the last line is read...I tip my pen to you and I am so very sorry you ever had to be subjected to any of the horrors you have experienced.

Never ending warm fuzzies for you my friend...Super duper tight!!

I think personal experience makes the most powerful poetry - that is true for us all :-) thank you for your constant support - Huge HUGS :-)

It is no surprise this stems from a religious orientation- I boil inside with indignation! I don't know how you manage to express such atrocities so artistically... You've succinctly carved these realities into brutally impacting haiku's; your power of expression is commanding! Stay strong dear friend <3

thank you so much your comments mean such a lot - these atrocities have been relived every day for 5 years that keeps them fresh and affects my levels of rage and injustice, this motivate these kind of writes. thank you again my friend :-)

David, these are your niches - these power-packed punches to the guts, right hooks to the jaw,  and reminders of a reality out there for many people.

This type of work is both enlightening and cathartic. Nuggets of wisdom that will be discovered repeatedly by those who pan for truth.

thank you - that was a really big thing you said and I am touched by your comments - these are must write poems for me :-)
