My PTSD

 Written 8/4/2023

Have you ever heard me talk in threes

Maybe a little to fast

Have you seen my hands twitch

Maybe like they shouldn’t

Have you seen me rub my nails together 

As if I scratching

If you haven’t

I hope you don’t

When it happens

My mind is racing

I can’t keep my thoughts together 

I overthink

Tell you I’m fine

My body shutting down

My eyes blank

Yet, I’m running a marathon
