Anxiety and depression
is my new obsession.
Doubts and fears live with
anger and tears.
Dreams that were had
now feel so sad.
Memories that remain
just add to the pain.
Fantasy’s in my head
of the life I might have led.
Staring mortality in the face
while trying hard not to lose this race.
Good days come to lift me up
but they all end soon enough.
Black dog barks strong and loud
as I fight back to do them proud.
