PTSD TPSD

The nails scream in wrath wails torn forlorn

Weighing heavy in poetic grave depressions

To lay deep down upon sheet’s nightmare thorns,

Pricked linen gravity that shares sleep compressions.

Tension swirls in manic turmoil twisted emotion bane

Drawn taunt stressed tight upon foreboding reign pain,

When poetry is forced silent into censure censorship leases,

Denying poetic release vents and rants therapy rereleases.

Vietnam Veteran graduating time continuum quagmire,

Lifetime PTSB bipolar combat conflict flails worn asunder

Thunder of nailing words in pounding keyboards being mired

In living suicide survival that expunges vile venom thereunder.

Thereunder mourning daylight mooring bares twain minus one,

Infertile shackled sludge super glued despondent solemn equation.

When a mind’s shadows nails escape to rail one backwards

Into the abyss cesspool of spun negativity in whirlpool records.

Never ending PTSD Poet Traumatic Stress Depression – scarlet,

Endless TPSD Terminated Poetry Stressed Depressant – letters,

Graduating draft conflict bears lifetime Vietnam Veteran scars

Frustration venom build up release onto napkin’s quill feather.

Pain that bears down to stain fibers in sword point penetration

Meanings cutting swaths to impregnate poetry’s core composition

Within a souls dire need for medicinal baptismal spiritual healing

That expunges PTSD in downpour relief restoring mental health.

TPSD also being Poet Strength De-termination
