Black Dog
Still days there are
When the Black Dog visits
On days I am alone
Those days myself I question
What have I done wrong
It's then I feel so useless
Though right I've tried to do
Yet still this feeling hits me
And Black Dog comes around
He shows no peace or compassion
Keep fighting this fight alone
When the Black Dog visits
On days I am alone
Those days myself I question
What have I done wrong
It's then I feel so useless
Though right I've tried to do
Yet still this feeling hits me
And Black Dog comes around
He shows no peace or compassion
Keep fighting this fight alone

Many people will identify with this poem, when the black dog visits us, I call day's like that, enveloped by a dark cloud, Winston Chrurchill called it the black dog.
All through history Men and Woman who are creative sucumb more than others to the black dog, poetic people often fall victim too. Super poem Steve
