Seems I shed many tears these days
My triggers fire in so many ways
I wipe my tears as soon as I can
It has something to do with being a man
I don't want anyone to see me like this
Don't want them to know that something's amiss
Rarely do I shed tears of joy
When I do, I feel like a little boy
I don't wipe those happy tears away
I keep them as long as they will stay
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.
