Excerpt
(In support of sufferers of PTSD)
Huddled
All I could hear was death coming closer, each shell a footstep nearer,
Passing bullets hummed in my ears, like the reapers scythe skimming my flesh.
The scent of decay, of decomposing comrades, invaded my nostrils,
Filling my brain with putrid uncertainties, of lost hope and unfounded reason.
Huddled, I clenched my head, pressing my skull inwards to feel something.
Gritting my teeth to stop the constant noise, the tinnitus of battle.
.
Some say that was then, discarded on the battlefield with the blood of dictat.
Little do they know, my battle continues each day; each hour is a war.
I still hear death approaching, each footstep stealthily nearer
Huddled, I clench my head, pressing my skull inwards to feel something.
