The mental battle after the war, call on the special forces to help fight this attack
special forces.
by ~SeverinR

Call for backup, Comrades in arms

The warriors called in action,
The battle is done, the sounds of war echo in your heart and mind.
The screams, the silence destroyed by destruction.
The killer of those that survived all wars in all the world.
Battle fatigue, shell shock, traumatic stress,
by any name, the id fights the battle over and over again.
The dead cry out to you in the darkness, denies you rest, cut you off from happiness

Seek reinforcements, call for the calvary, call for the choppers to help you out of the battle that rages unending in your head.

Unlike the warriors of old, you do not have to fight the mental battle alone.

You are not weak, to call for aid from those trained to help bring you home.  Were you weak in the real battle to seek help?  Why would you be weak, for calling for someone to help you from the battle in your mind?

You need not destroy yourself in an attempt to silence the war.  Civilized people cannot cope with what war demands you do to survive.  Seek help.  Don't become a casualty at home, of a war you wanted to leave far away. 

No one blessed enough to not know war, can understand the feelings you feel now.  Seek help from those that know.  Those that have conquered the battles that rage in their heart.

Those battles that would make those you love become wounded, mentally or physically,

As fall-out of those destructive weapons wired into your mind, by war.
Those that loved you before you left, want to help you, and help you find peace, and show their love to you again.  But they don't know how to help you, and they don't know the danger they could face, if they wake you at the wrong time, the wrong way. 
They see the anger, the hurt, and the pain, even though you try to hide it from them.  Protecting them from the demons of war, but they feel you won't let them in.  They think you push them away.

Seek help.  The transition from war to peace will take longer than it took, from peace to war.  Employ those elite Special Forces, to recon the destruction, seek out the traps left by the enemy, disarm the unexploded emotions before they harm you or your loved ones, destroy the things that helped you survive over there.  Use the forces, trained to clear the debris and clutter, to help you to transition back to that peaceful place. 

Don't let the unexploded emotions; scar the children of our warriors.  Don't teach them the violence that you can't escape. Don't hurt the ones you love.  Call for help, before they have to call for help to escape the beast that hides inside you.  Don't make them face the enemy defenseless, the one that could hurt them directly, or hurt them indirectly as it tears you apart in front of them.

In war we must trust our fellow warrior, to have our back.  When we return, there is such emotional devastation, it is impossible to clean it all and defuse the traps by ourselves.  We must use all forces at our disposal to help you put the pieces back together, that once was your life before the war.

Don't shove all the unexploded emotions into one chained emotional dump, increasing the size and volatility until it is unstable, and guaranteed to blow.  Guaranteed to harm you or those you love.  Even before it blows, the emissions from the dump will harm your everyday life.  It will poison your recovery, the peace you look for.

Every great warrior must know when to call for help.  Be a great warrior, call for assistance.  Don't let the war make you a casuality at home, because you thought you had to be tough, and face the enemy single handedly, alone.  The enemy is too strong, it has hidden its forces in your mind, with munitions and deadly weapons, to harm you and your loved ones.  Call for help.  Protect the innocent from the hell you went through, but find someone to help.  Trust those that were trained to handle these special forces, that torment your mind.
