dear ptsd

dear post traumatic stress disorder 

you really are my worst supporter

so good at making me feel ashamed 

you tell me i should have been the one who got blamed

daily flashbacks of the trauma 

daily flashbacks of the torture

and even though i have aged

you make sure the memories remain

thank you for changing my perspective of how i see the world with my eyes

thank you for always reminding me of how one day changed my whole life

you printed the stains on me forever 

why do you not want me to just get better? 

because of you no amount of therapy sessions will ever give me enough strength to scrub myself clean

to erase all of the traces, trauma and flashbacks of what happened to me as a teen

dear ptsd 

why do you love me?
