Anatomy Of One Victim

Anatomy Of One Victim

A Poem by therisa
"

My description, of how I became and what it is like, as a recovering PTSD survivor.

"

Tainted memories

Lies accepted

Truths unspoken

Tormented soul.


Struggling family

Happy facade

Increasing despair

Disintegration.


Mental barriers

Suicide attempts

Worsening isolation

Fatalistic.


Depression

Denial

Anxiety attacks

Loner.

those monsters in our head that alienate us from life...you've named them and the power is in knowing who and what they are. That is how you kill them.

I am trying, Tammy, but it's hard to keep focus, at times.
