PTSD
Put This Shit Down
Put it down on paper
Read it aloud
Let it see the light of day
Show those that weren't there
What was there
What is there

The truth is horrible
But never as malevolent as lies and secrets
Lies and Secrets started this shit in the first place

PTSD
Put This Shit Down
Put it dowm,
So that it's there
Somewhere tangible
In lines
On paper
In a little book
Up on a shelf
So that it's not just loitering in my mind-
Like a gunship
Banking slowly to the left...

PTSD
Put This Shit Down
Put this shit down, Doctor-
I've killed because I was just too tired to care
Too scared to scream
Too numb for morality or reality to matter much

Put this shit down...
And tell me, if my sentence..
This life..
Fits my crime

And talk to me of peace
If that's what's on your mind
And you can put things down that you've never experienced...
I'll allow that-
Because I do understand
The need we all have to

Put This Shit Down
