I was never a soldier across the seas
Hated and blamed for my past
Called crazy and I swear I'm not
The blood dripping and the phone off the hook
What is PTSD people ask
Understand that it's waking up screaming every night
Understand that it's flashbacks of that very day
Understand that it's jumping at every little noise
Understand that it's anxiety that just wont quit
Understand that it's crying because you're broken
Understand that it's giving up on everything
Understand that it's the feeling of hopelessness because you can't be cured
You're medicated and you cope, but it doesn't help much
Don't ask us what happened and don't say it's ok
It's not ok, we relive it every day of our lives
No one with a mental illness asked for it
And more than anything we try to hide it
