Scars for Life(The Growing up story)

Don't be confused you had it easy
Not a care in the world
Then elementary school happened,boys happened,period happened
college happened,technology happen,responsibilities happened
Bam! Bam! Bam!No breathing allowed
Life happened

I had it confused
All along the way I thought I had it hard
Then good grades happened,protecting my self/status happened
taking responsibility happened
And I didn't breath
Life struck me

No i have wound
Yes, I was in that battle along with many others
I was struck in the head,heart,soul
That led to soreness of the physical body
I have scars to prove it

PTSD i call it life
When all you remember is holding your breath
Through everything life threw at you
To survive and be the best you can be
Yet PTSD followed you held onto you and pulled you down

I accepted my responsibilities
I failed
I fought with life and everything it threw at me
So i lie dormant for now

I'm watching life's every move
Because the next time i strike
It will Not confuse me
It will not strike me
It will not wound me
PSTD will not follow me

I will not allow it to fail me
I will not be dormant
And all along this journey i will remember to take deep breaths
