| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  | |

| | My Dream
I see the faded and peeling pink paint.
My body quivers and I want to faint.
I hear cautious footsteps on a loose hardwood floor.
Soon will come the rite I deplore. |

| | Rescued Rescued
When in a place so dark and cold,
I felt the hand of God take hold.
I could not live when I was there,
So lifted He my heart with care.
He brought me out to life again…
And rescued me from satan’s den.
My heart’s now free of painful past,
As His own love is all ‘twill last.

| | missing you Not a day goes by I don't see your face,
I shed a tear if I drive by your place,
you were the one that taught me whats right,
where was I when you needed me that night.
I need you to know that I did all I could,
now my heart is heavy it feels just like wood,
I fought a fight against an unseen force,
who had better plans for you and your course.
Daily I think was there something I missed,
I hold back the tears, your cheek I would kiss,
i know you are happy in your new place,
no sorrow, no grief, no pain a slower race.
Daddy I loved you I miss you each day
I wish you were here, to the lord I do pray,
that you are happy, and see your granddaughter
she is big and strong, and knows your face as she ought'er
you asked God one day, to let her live and take her place,
I m glad that you saw her, and she runs like each days a race,
Daddy O' Poppa we all miss you so,
you left us to early, with the angels you did go. |

| | A Godly Father A Godly Father
A father must be a reflection
Of our Heavenly Father above,
Providing these gifts to his children,
Of security, safety, and love.
A good father instructs his children
In ways Godly, and faithful, and wise,
Teaching God’s plan of redemption,
And that He will deliver their lives.
He comforts his tired, frightened children,
Holding them safe while life’s storms rage on,
Chasing monsters out of dark corners,
And forcing shadows across the lawn. |

| | I wish you would love me Oh baby, oh baby, you are my life,
when you push me away it cuts like a knife,
I am your mom, supposed to be your Saviour,
you want nothing to do with me, was it my behaviors.
My heart is so broken that you wont come to me,
I guess I was right and a poor mother I be,
I held you and cared for you when you were first born,
now you cry and scream when I touch you, my heart it is torn
No band aid will fix this, I'm afraid that its true,
your father is whom you choose when your blue,
I cant comfort you, I try with my might.
but soon as I touch you it turns into a fight.
Maybe a better mother could comfort you,
I'm sorry that its not me, this I know is true,
your smile and your laughter, it still makes me smile,
I'm sorry, that you don't want to be around me awhile.
I don't know the answer to get back your love,
at one time it was as simple as putting on a glove,
you used to find a need for me, now I'm no one.
if you only knew that my heart feels like it ways a ton.
Oh Baby, Oh Baby, I'm so sorry that I failed you,
you'll always be my baby even if you make me blue,
one day I'll be gone will you miss me then,?
probably not , you'll have other things to occupy you like men.
I'm sorry from the bottom of my heart that I am not what you need,
because I'm not my heart it does bleed,
I'd hoped for a love that would never Fail.
i might as well be the one to see the only way out is to bail. |

| | I want to tell you lies This isnt my own but I needed to post it please understand
I want to tell that little boy his Mom will be just fine
I want to tell that dad we got his daughter out in time
I want to tell that wife her husband will be home tonight
I don't want to tell it like it is, I want to tell them lies
You didn't put their seat belts on, you feel you killed your kids
I want to say you didn't ... but in a way, you did
You pound your fists into my chest, you're hurting so inside
I want to say you'll be OK, I want to tell you lies
You left chemicals within his reach and now it's in his eyes
I want to say your son will see, not tell you he'll be blind
You ask me if he'll be OK, with pleading in your eyes
I want to say that yes he will, I want to tell you lies
I can see you're crying as your life goes up in smoke
If you'd maintained that smoke alarm, your children may have woke
Don't grab my arm and ask me if your family is alive
Don't make me tell you they're all dead, I want to tell you lies
I want to say she'll be OK, you didn't take her life
I hear you say you love her and you'd never hurt your wife
You thought you didn't drink too much, you thought that you could drive
I don't want to say how wrong you were, I want to tell you lies
You only left her for a moment, it happens all the time
How could she have fell from there? You thought she couldn't climb
I want to say her neck's not broke, that she will be just fine
I don't want to say she's paralyzed, I want to tell you lies
I want to tell this teen his buddies didn't die in vain
Because he thought that it'd be cool to try to beat that train
I don't want to tell him this will haunt him all his life
I want to say that he'll forget, I want to tell him lies
You left the cabinet open and your daughter found the gun
Now you want me to undo the damage that's been done
You tell me she's your only child, you say she's only five
I don't want to say she wont see six, I want to tell you lies
He fell into the pool when you just went to grab the phone
It was only for a second that you left him there alone
If you let the damn phone ring perhaps your boy would be alive
But I don't want to tell you that, I want to tell you lies
The fact that you were speeding caused that car to overturn
And we couldn't get them out of there before the whole thing burned
Did they suffer? Yes, they suffered, as they slowly burned alive
But I don't want to say those words, I want to tell you lies
But I have to tell it like it is, until my shift is through
And then the real lies begin, when I come home to you,
You ask me how my day was, and I say it was just fine
I hope you understand, sometimes, I have to tell you lies
–Kalvere

| | Safe Keeping It hurt so much to know the truth
That she buried it deep inside,
Never Knowing someday
It would find it's way outside.
One would think it would be
like a damn unleashed,
but that wasn't the case at all,
Instead it was bit's and pieces,
That made little sense at all.
But slowly they came together,
In flashes,sensations,and more,
It felt so real that frightened,
She struggled to close this door.
She had hoped that it would disappear,
as it had when she was young,
But it would not go this time,
For it had been hidden way to long.
But please just one more time, I beg,
Please go back inside
This pain,so deep I cannot move,
I need a place to hide.
I know now that it won't disappear,
So I must learn to cope,
For merely the fact that I survived,
Means there has to be some hope. |

| | Because, seeing a friend is hard work. Helping is hard work. I see that elvin boy that is your friend.
He's in so much pain, I wish I could look away. His leg is wrecked and bandaged.
His leg has been crippled and he walks with a crutch.
I see the sweat and pain in his lonely face-in his lonely eyes.
"kind sir". he fought hard help you........
"kind sir". he worked hard to help you......
He's in constant pain, all of his life.
Why don't you lend him a hand? and ease his pain?
Why do you make him walk alone and stand alone?.............................
Please Help him.
You told him for years that you would.
Please try to help him.
he'll become more of a good friend than you can ever imagine.
