Me

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.
