Depression

Black Dog Comes

For a while

Black dog comes,

Sneaks inside your head.

Sits upon your throat.

You want to choke.

…………………………………..

Lights go out.

Darkness strokes your hair.

You know it isn’t fair.

But who cares?

………………………………….

Fear walks in

And makes itself at home.

Now you are alone.

It’s time to groan.

…………………………………

Black dog howls

But slowly disappears.

You overcome your fears.

You’ve shed your tears.

………………………………..

So time delivers

And breaks the spell.

A moment spent in hell

With black dog.
