It's
3am and I haven't closed my eyes tonight even though I have been
lying here for hours.  The TV is on, it's never off,but I couldn't
tell you anything it's images or sounds emitted. What's in my mind
doesn't keep me awake.  What's going to happen tomorrow I am not
concerned about because like everyone else,  I have no control of
that.  I do know that my mind won't let me forget things I want to
forget.  I know that even when I try, I cannot seem to fit in.  I
don't know why, I just know I can't.  I don't mean to, but I shut
people out and shut them down if they try to get in.  I know they
aren't judging me, because I've done nothing to be judged for as far
as they know.  I know that I judge myself and rather harshly.  Not so
much for something I have done, but for the things I am unable to do
now.  My thoughts do get twisted and I often twist reality into
chaos.  This bothers me, because I am smart enough to know that I am
a normal person who should be thankful for my wife, kids,family and
all the other “Good”things in my life, yet I sit here in a state
of pity...shrunken inside....displaced in society.  I don't know why!
 I suppose this is my attempt to explain or even justify why I am
doing this.   I know it seems selfish because I am doing this to
escape the pains and confusion.  Ironically, the ones I love and
leave, I leave in pain and confusion.  There is no one to fault, nor
is there any one reason.  If there were then I would not do this. 
May God have mercy on me and forgive me for all I have done, and am
doing now.  May God give those in my life a sense of understanding
that this is for the best for all concerned.
This
my last words......A Veteran, a Son, a Father, a Husband, a Friend
