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.

Some Wounds Never Heal
Lots of ways to be wounded in war
Bullets, grenades, rockets and so much more
Some are mortally wounded and die right away
Take a big hit and don't last the day
Others are wounded but survive
Takes some time but they revive
There's a wound that doesn't bleed and you can't see
Just ask a few questions and you will agree
This wound stays with you for life
Infects, festers and causes real strife
Some survive it
Some commit
Regardless of the type wound you receive
War will kill you eventually I believe
David Rose - Vietnam Veteran - Combat Medic
Inspired by Dr. Jackson and the Vet Center slogan
