This book is the compilation of selections from over four books of poetry written by Steven W Bates and has been created specifically as a resource for www.poemspeak.org to contain only poems written about the struggles and situations created by living with PTSD, depression, and suicidal thoughts. It is the purpose of Poemspeak and the author to provide the listener with awareness that they are not alone in the hardships and hazards of these conditions, and that they can survive, and thrive, while still learning to cope with and manage life with PTSD and depression.

Steven Bates lives a busy life working with non-profits for suicide prevention, helping others with PTSD to obtain service dogs, and running his own non-profit to comfort those who suffer from mental illness. Those experiences have inspired his poetry. He wrote it with the sincere hope to honor those who sacrificed for their country and to remind those who struggle of how they can thrive in the face of adversity.
