Everyone has experienced heart ache in their life
Maybe they lost a child or even a wife
Your heart can ache but it still keeps going
It continues to beat and the blood is still flowing
Sure the heart is important but it's just a muscle
It can't think, reason or resolve a tussle
Did you know that the brain can ache too
Emotional trauma can set it askew
When the brain aches it won't work well for long
It controls everything so lots of stuff can go wrong
It's easy to spot a brain that is broken
By the expression of pain that is so often spoken
(Inspired by: Jimmy Coley, Vietnam Veteran)
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.
