PHD to PTSD

Just a poem I wrote when I ran away from home and lost all my life plans.

There was once a direction in life

But it was all gone in one night 

In one night I went from young to old

Life was gone from my soul

My brain went ftom Phd to ptsd

Instead of life, my thoughts turn to a knife

Pen on paper or knife on skin

Either way I can not win

Life was only starting to begin

Now it feels like it's already at an end 

Call me weak, but maybe I fell at my peak

There's no way to numb the pain

No way to rid the trauma from my brain

The doctors say I'm insane

I am not a real writer. This is just stuff from a notebook I kept when I ran away from a lot of stuff and took off across the state jumping from state park to state park. I'm basically illiterate and have no Idea what I'm doing.
