PTSD! (Prologue)

It starts in silence

A weight, a shadow

A storm trapped inside

You wake up, but you're still dreaming

Frozen, yet running

Every breath feels like war

Every step... like sinking

But listen

Do you hear it?

A pulse, a spark

A whisper that refuses to fade

Not every battle is fought with fists

Some wars rage within

But even the deepest scars can become armor

Even the darkest nights can be set ablaze
