Terror, Fear
Adrenaline, Panic
What word can describe
The incomparable grit
The flash of fear,
The heart beat rush
One minute happy,
The next is a demon
I can’t breathe,
I can’t even gasp
All at once,
I feel it
The feeling I never wanted to return
I try and sleep,
But the faces come flashing
The lights turn on
The beeping returns
The tube is in her throat
Her life may never return
I can’t close my eyes
I can’t see through my tears
Terror, fear, panic
But then I glance around
The microwave went off
It had simply beeped
I hug myself,
My eyes prance around
Looking for the fear,
Looking for what’s coming next
PTSD
It’s that thing we read about
The medical term,
It describes trauma
A trauma you never thought you’d have
Your body becomes a victim
Your mind becomes the enemy
All at once,
You go from one thing to another
It’s simply,
PTSD
