Free write.



Mind in a trance lost in the dance, two sides vying for control.  

PTSD rearing its ugly head ready to pin down any rays of hope from the sun of my soul.  

Ideas and memories stuck on a loop candidly displaying loud for an audience that would rather be mute.  

This is a good day; on the bad days the sun of my soul is drowned out and darkness consumes the last garden of my hope. Suffocating the flowers that dwell and any chance for growth.
