Don't Want To

Don't want to die
Just want to ease the pain
Don't want to cry
Or be filled with disdain

Don't want to be depressed
But can't seem to shake it
Life's unrelenting stress
Siphons strength with each hit

Don't want to quit
Perseverance is key
Bit by small bit
Has damaged my psyche

Don't want to be social
Isolating myself
Don't want to go postal
So I'm going in stealth

Author's Note
Was apprehensive about sharing this. If it helps even one person feeling the same then my transparency was worth it. Even the strongest of Soldiers get battle fatigued after fighting constant wars. I'm sure that many can relate. This isn't a pity party or a cry for help. Just felt the need to post this.
