I have a ninety year old father who lives with me
He has pain in his back and in his knee
His doctor gave him this Percocet pill
He said, "ask anytime for a refill"
I was struggling one day
Needed to keep my demons away
Decided to try one and take a chance
Seemed like a reasonable idea at first glance
Made me feel warm everywhere
Had more conversation to share
It really gave me the boost I needed
My idea had succeeded
Percocet allows me to feel happy
Instead of being so snappy
I understand all the reasons it's wrong
Some days I just need a little help to get along
I haven't started anything that can't be undone
PS. Please don't tell anyone
David Rose - Vietnam Veteran - Combat Medic
A collection of original poetry from a Vietnam War Veteran, David Rose, who is diagnosed with PTSD by the Veterans Administration. Some of these poems are very personal and dark while others are lighter, but I wanted to make them available to the public as an educational tool to everyone who is interested. The poems are copyrighted, but can be used for any nonprofit reason with credits. It is my sincere wish that someone will find these heart-felt writings useful.
