Post Traumatic Stress Disorder--Survivor Guilt

"

What is this feeling?

That hangs on

 

Is it the fear of Battle?

 

Trapped in the maelstrom of dread and passion

Catching the heat

 

Nay . . . 'tis not

 

Is it the fear of Cowardliness?

 

That foulness of all panic

Stealing ones very ego

Leaving a barren shell

 

Nay . . . 'tis not

 

Is it the fear of Death?

 

Singling no

Creed or calling

Distributing Godhead's aftermath

 

Nay . . . 'tis not

 

Is it the fear of Guilt?

 

Madness that eats at you

Fouling the years furthermore

 

Damn right!

'tis fear

 

Of surviving
