Hyperventilating, sitting in my car
Summoning some courage just to open up the door
Breathe out, one foot forward
Mumble through the day, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Submerged, suffocation
Cough-cough, resuscitation
Lividity established, hugging a corpse
Haunted everyday by survivors remorse
Some things you can't unsee
Burned out memories I can't believe
I refuse to let trauma define me
How can darkness be so blinding
Some things you can't unsee
Burned out memories I can't believe
I refuse to let trauma define me
Constant reminder, headaches and I start shaking
Sick stomach, grief has a physical manifestation
Play the part everyday I wake up in a costume
Give a smile and wave, but it's not helping
Breaking out of my chrysalis
Like a zapped moth flying
Metamorphosis
UGH!
