I tried to change but I couldn’t.
They wanted me to hide my crying but I wouldn’t.
Treating my depression like some sort of personality flaw.
Acting like there was some new “Don’t be a baby law.”
Being outcasted for being sad.
What the fuck?!?
Do you think I want to feel this bad?!?!
I mean shit, even writing this poem is causing me to remember the pain,
All of this madness is making me insane!
Ha! But mental illness doesn’t even exist right?
When it was embarrassing for you,
I tried to hide it all inside.
BUT IT STILL WASN’T ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU SATISFIED!
PTSD is no fucking joke.
If it’s a joke to you, just get on Facebook and give me a poke.
For I’m done pretending to be something I’m not, friend request deleted.
Better yet, your’re ignorant asses are blocked.

Wow, I applaud you for being able to rhyme with such strong emotion! It’s great that you have the ability to actively express how you feel through your writing. It can really take a load off when things become overwhelming. I can agree with what you are saying here. I have a friend who has PTSD and it really isn’t a joke at all. It’s very serious. It’s not something anyone asks for. Awesome poem by the way!
I like. tell me what is ptsd
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. To give s really simple explanation, it’s a disorder that occurs after someone has experienced a particularly awful, scary, traumatic event. Afterwards you can be triggered by certain events, which brings back the memories and intense emotional and physical reactions. This is common in war veterans.
