The poem below will give you a good introduction to me and my mind. The struggle of everyday life and how I choose to deal. Many times I have no control so I choose to just drift with the tide and let the PTSD symptoms pass. It’s all about perspective!
Decision to Make
Remain locked in the in-between
Draw on the chaos
And the words flow to the paper
The glorious sight
A thrill that runs my spine
And excited my mind
That I am able to manifest
The hideous and the creepy
…so magnificent and heart wrenching the words
Or do I let the Healer set me free
Let the chaos no longer dwell
Not let it harbor and fester
Will I remember what the chaos was like
Will I remember the pain and be able to capture its spell
So continues the battle
To be free
Free of the nightmares
Of the demons
Of the scars
Or to remain
And use the beasts
To create the works of art
That stirs others
…bring their adoration
Even the most dark
And evil of my pourings
Out onto the pages
Brings an extreme of emotions
To the other beings around me
I will miss the emotions I have wrought
Off the soul of the other
That was moved by my words
By my writing
By my demons
By my chaos
