My heart is pumping So fast you can visually see my chest thumping The only sound I hear is a heart beat Lately I haven't been able to eat Uncontrollable shaking Rude awakenings Uncomfortable thoughts Distraughts Staying up late caused by PTSD I am trying to get better, can’t you see? I try to fight the battles that go off in my head Late at night, before I go to bed I try to keep moving forward and never look back Wait, I feel like I’m having a heart attack
