I woke up with a heavy heart Nothing made sense All the visions Between sleep and awake Melted in to each other I stood up Slightly out of balance Thinking that I'm just drowsy But then my vision blurred And I stumpled on to the couch "I'm working, be quiet" I heard her say Inbetween the flashbacks The flashbacks of you beating me you will bend to my will Words of deep resistance Left my lips As I curled up You proceeded to violating me And I screamed that one day You'd wake up Standing next to your body This made you retreat each time You cried in the corner And I woke up With no memory Of what you did to me... Deeply greatful For the peace that I've found I recover from this panic attack And face another day Where the future Looks bright And you're but a distant memory I've found peace And you're still sick. I can handle my PTSD And everything you did to me There are no marks And I've won over you Once more.

Smile through PTSD
I woke up with a heavy heart Nothing made sense All the visions Between sleep and awake Melted in to each other I stood up Slightly out of balance Thinking that I'm just drowsy But then my vision blurred And I stumpled on to the couch "I'm working, be quiet" I heard her say Inbetween the flashbacks The flashbacks of you beating me you will bend to my will Words of deep resistance Left my lips As I curled up You proceeded to violating me And I screamed that one day You'd wake up Standing next to your body This made you retreat each time You cried in the corner And I woke up With no memory Of what you did to me... Deeply greatful For the peace that I've found I recover from this panic attack And face another day Where the future Looks bright And you're but a distant memory I've found peace And you're still sick. I can handle my PTSD And everything you did to me There are no marks And I've won over you Once more.
