I Have No Other Way Poem by Iris Mista

To treat the ptsd, it is what they say
I've to feel all fear, hurt and pain
so that one day it will fade away
then I will no longer be insane

It is a long and painful road I've to go
in a world in which all is unreal
switching to moments in which I show
the images of reality to reveal

God, how to bear this burden in me
walking on the edge of withstanding
why, why... does this have to be
I beg you for some understanding

I have no other way
to do
No hiding place
not even my heart
is mine
So I cry out
all the hidden woe
and hope
for the sun to shine
one day

God

on me
