Manifestations Of Combat Induced PTSD

While stationed in Iraq I couldn't help but to notice that I was losing my mind.
So I just followed that mind of mine around so it wouldn't be hard to find.
I'd hold conversations with myself between a robot and the son of God.
On convoys behind a ma-duece, I'd do this, I kid you not
That's where I created Jesus and the almighty robot.

That was back in 2005 and a lot has happened since then.
Was married living in San Francisco when the PTSD had settled in.
I was depressed and having dissociative spells so we had ourselves a son.
That helped keep me from visiting the Golden Gate Bridge, not to admire but to jump from.
Without Sarah and Emmett around a suicide would've been done.

After awhile we moved to Petaluma where we would have a couple daughters.
I had to keep those post traumatic stress demons of mine at bay to be a good father.

Juniper Frances and Meridian Jean help me to keep it together.
A knitted sweater for treacherous weather, I think I'm feeling better.

So now we live in Pittsburgh and I'm trying to get used to it all.
It's nice to experience seasons, the color leafs change in the fall.
And I find it strange that the snow helps me to actually feel at ease.
Moving out east from the west has brought me a certain peace.
Even though I can feel the PTSD inside gnawing at me.
