I get my eye glasses from the VA
I've gotten quite a few this way
I'm careful but they always get destroyed
It seems to be a practice I can't avoid
They always get these spots on the lens
Won't come off no matter how much I cleanse
I got some new ones just last week
Thick black rims I look like a geek
Had a PTSD episode yesterday
Put on quite a tearful display
Then suddenly another new spot stain appears
I realized then it must be coming from my tears
So if you see a guy with stained glasses you can bet
He's probably a PTSD Vietnam War Vet
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.
