Black Dog
It crouches in my mind
fixed eyes threaten attack
A scent of overwhelming sadness
again invites it back
Black dog drains my interest
fatigue I cannot fight.
Guilt sweeps upon me.
Helplessness his bite.
I lack the will to fight him,
I lack the need to win.
I have no use for rising,
it's simpler to sleep in.
Black dog senses anxiety,
my fears as pleasure pales.
With neither need nor ability
to face more life travails.
Again I face tomorrow
with helplessness and fear
Knowing well the lesson
that every life is dear.
I know not the reason,
why I simply sit and weep .
Black thoughts,deep depression
into my mind do creep
Black dog cower,slyly slink away.
Again to resist temptation
and face yet another day.

| I really like the 'animalisation' of depression as a black dog. Really effective imagery and a nice rhyming scheme. |

| Great imagery! I never looked at my depression as a black dog, but that is exactly what it is. Great work! |
