depression, Poems

Black Dog Days

Depression is a horrible thing. 

It makes your mind race & ears ring. 

Your thoughts are all jumbled, you don’t know what’s right & you sleep all day coz you’re sat up all night. 

It’s claws dig in & once it’s got hold, it turns your heart to stone & your soul cold. 

You want to shake it, you want to be warm; You want to be happy & see the end of the storm. 

But there’s no light; no hope in sight – & that’s how the black dog wins the fight
