having suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and feeling i have the support and love which has helped me through tough times i had to pen something to help others who may be going through this awful expereice you are never alone

Mental Health Episode An episode may come and go When it will come you will never know From the left or right or head on The way to beat it is to stay strong Emotions and thoughts they run wild Sometimes you just wish you were a child Stay strong and try to remain upbeat Keep your self on your feet Find someone whom you can talk Or find a place to go for a walk Clear your head and find that space Only you know your safe place Fight or flight is in the mind If you run that would be unkind Stand tall and fight the demon within This is the only way you can win Head on they say is the only way To put these thoughts to bed one day It wont just happen over night This will be one long fight But when you’re feeling on top of your game You will win and no more pain Keep those you love close and near They will help rid you of the fear Sadness, loneliness feeling of remorse Guilt, Anger and pain of course Some of the feelings you may get Waking up in the night soaking wet These dreams you’re having Keeping you awake Positive thoughts you need For your own sake Happy times that make you smile Will help you through this last mile When it rears its ugly head Remember what this poem said Stay strong, remain calm You can win What happened to you Is not a sin You are worth your weight in gold Shout out and let the world be told What you have encountered is truly sad You’re an amazing lady or lad.
