TRAUMA

TRAUMA

Congratulations,

You've survived the war,

Now live with the trauma,

But wait just a minute and tell me

Was the war real or just caught inside your head

Causing drama?

Did you fight for your life on a feild

Or was all of that never real?

Were you battling yourself

Or every single soldier that came next?

I'm going to let you in on a little secret

That obviously no one knows yet

It doesn't matter if you had a gun in your hand

Pointing at the victim

Or if the gun pointed at your head was held

By no other than yourself.

Both of you fought, long and hard

Both of you had nightmares from that start

So I just hope you'll heal

And live your live the way you've always dreamed would be ideal.
