Wayward Son

So this goes out for ALL mental illness but in particular the PTSD that is suffered from soldiers not only coming home but those of us who lived and have to transition back after everything. I really do not believe it is something addressed near enough. It’s expected for soldier to contact outlets for help but FYI when you’re having a flash back or hell even just trouble with it the last thing on your mind is to call a hotline or to go to the VA. Unfortunately I don’t have a solution to propose but it is a serious issue.

Shout out to the brother in arms I met tonight. We may have been in different units and in different places over seas but we wore the same uniform and the same blue cord. We’ve felt the same loss of brother both there and here but I pray the heart to heart we had tonight will help you through this transition back into civilian life. I promise it gets better bro, maybe not easier but it does get better. May we live on until for those who no longer can. Until Valhalla calls.

I miss you but I have yet to meet you. I feel you but I have yet to hold you. I need you but I need me more so that when you need me it’s really me. I love you but I am not ready yet regardless how much I want to be.

me: it's a surprise
