PTSD's Got a Hold on Me

PTSD can hit anyone
Not just those who came from war,
PTSD can change any life
When your world's been rocked to the core.

Rocked to the core from the trauma of war
Or emotional pain years ago,
PTSD comes in many ways
When you find you can't let things go.

That trauma that rocked your mind, your soul
And locked it up deep within,
It keeps you locked up in the past
So your new life will never begin.

You doubt yourself, your life, your worth
Even thoughts of taking your own life,
You break into tears and don't know why
Cause you can't stop the pain and strife.

Lord, I know that you are always here
Please take away all this pain,
That pain that keeps me from moving on
So I can live again.
