Casualties Of PTSD

Haunting memories of fatalities from serving on foreign land
PTSD can be debilitating after completing missions for Uncle Sam
Recollections crammed into cans of spam like cerebral chambers
Making you militant, hypervigilant, and always expecting danger

No stranger to unrelenting anger festering on the inside
Receiving mangers fraught with thoughts of committing suicide
But pride keeps you riding on tides in troubled waters
Not wanting to slaughter the psyche of your teenage daughter

Love for her being the cure for your afterlife aspirations
Glasses filled with distilled spirits and pills of prescription
Added to the equation to numb sensations of transience
Helping to return you to an enveloping state of blissful ambience
