Ever sense this PTSD thing hit
I've been down in the pit
I stay pretty much secluded
From normal activities I'm excluded
Can't keep living life this way
Hope it's not here to stay
The clock keeps ticking on the wall
I can hear it down the hall
I see my friends moving along
Their lives are going strong
Life is going on else where
Even though I'm not there
The more depressed I get
So in this room I sit
The clock keeps ticking on the wall
I can hear it down the hall
Life is passing me by
No matter how hard I try
It's hard to get going
With the symptoms I'm showing
Can't keep living life this way
Hope it's not here to stay
The clock keeps ticking on the wall
I can hear it down the hall
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.
