IT'S YOUR CALL

Traumatized children don't tell.
After living an event in hell
And many others suffer the same fate
Seems age does not discriminate

My Dad agonized over a term called "shell shock"
Another word in association with PTSD a lot
He too could not tell of the hell he went through
In that great war under General Patton number two

I won't list many of the tragedies that could trigger
But don't you think most wartorn veterans linger
In a state of confusion and mental fog from those times
Causing emotions to wane to and fro like wavy lines

Remember the unknown soldier most times forgot about?
What about you my brother and sister warrior of account.
Do you have family and friends lending peace and satisfaction?
In crisis have effective coping skills and a good plan of action?

And what about the unknown warrior lingering back in the shadows
Like him, alone and feeling at the height of your plateaus?
Possessing a heart full of pain and eyes full of tears
Waiting 24/7 are responders that do understand our fears.

My Dad didn't have the choice to call back in his day
He fought with what little ammo he had but it wasn't enough to stay
And though Patton led our brave warriors to win that great war
Many suffered the ultimate loss without notice or count from afar

YOU CAN WIN!! YOU have a choice. Make that call. Find out
