PTSD Means No One Knows

"I saw this man and,,, I am damned even though I gave him mercy." the soldier told a nurse as she widened her eyes and turned away.
"He was hit by a flame thrower before I put him down, and even though I got the Taliban soldier,
I'm damned for the war still goes on." the special forces soldier said through tears to the nurse.
"I thought you wanted to go back, but I'm sorry you can't right now."
the nurse weeped.
He had been all over the world
feeling as one man
All he could think of is war
"My neighbor is my brother...
... my brother is my arm."
A world at war
No one at home knew the full circumstances
His pain for alarm
Wanting the war over
Just to be involved with a bank
this is my no one knows PTSD
