Without Anger

written by: Angel Edwards

Without anger could I have survived

Anger is sometimes a means of survival
With PTSD any slight irritation can evoke rage
The test is to be able to turn the anger off
or calm the rage down to a dull simmer of just slight annoyance
Life becomes so melodramatic and hardly ever in the positive spectrum of drama
experiencing trauma endlessly
repetitively relentlessly

callous indifference
cavalier dismissive
Cold world
isolation

With PTSD one always feels threatened
by impending danger
ever on guard
treading tiptoe
terrified
solo

THE END OR A NEW BEGINNING? by Cristina Crucianu

I woke up to my grandmother whispering to me: “It’s over. She’s passed.”

Like an automaton, I got up, and I obliged myself to hand in the project I had been hired for before all the frenzy of organizing a funeral began. A calm sky was lazily waking up as if nothing had happened. In the distance, the roosters’ crows were alerting the villagers that it was time to wake up. The crow, accompanied by the incessant barking of neighbors’ dogs, was the perfect alarm system that even the highest alarm systems could not compete with...
