Let him go

ComplexPTSD Crash

The Dragon

The dragon living within me
is black and green,
With fiery tongues
of red and orange
escaping its mouth.
I fear for myself,
But can you grasp
the fear that consumes me
when it arises?
I will keep it hidden
deep inside, within
No one shall know.
I shall retain its presence.
I dread releasing it,
It might cause harm
when it comes to the light.
I do not wish to harm myself,
yet fear lingers,
Could you take up my sword
and defeat it in my place?
The dragon inside instils fear
I yearn to set it free,
but how can I free it?
Run and hide,
but remain confined,
I am unwilling to unleash it,
Yet why am I so anxious to release it?
Help me understand,
I must find a way to let him go.

Welcome to my odyssey through Complex PTSD. It started unexpectedly on August 9th, 2021, during a challenging 12 km hike. The morning was calm, the air crisp, and our spirits high as we set off. Eager and ecstatically happy, we embarked on this unforeseen difficult adventure. However, merely five hundred meters in, I found myself falling behind. Determined to catch up, I quickened my pace, glancing at my watch. And then... a tree materialized before me, greeting me with a terrible greeting. From that moment, everything shifted... thus marking the start of my life-changing journey into the world of Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
