mongrel dog
vicious bark
vile abuser
violent assaults
in ther heavy dark
membranes
of my brain.
Up at 3 am to beat the mongrel
“Shut the fuck up”
pacing, porn and info commercials
till the bitches yelp
is just a whimper
Black beast
mongel dog
morning skiver
sulking stalker
shadow master
fighting functions
failing fitness
Out on the street at 7 am
dishevelled, disordered
mongrel chained to a runnaway tram
breaks lose
in hot pursuit
bites me into pieces
I drag it into a darked hole
muzzled and bound.
Black Beast
mongrel dogs
kennelled in
psychiatric cages
barking grief and confusion
failed hopes
faulting ambitions
and here I sit among the broken
between closed, secured walls
A caffieened charmer
the softly spoken disarmer
a black dog whisper
” This must be tough you , eh, living with depression….”

I am surprised you have not received more attention for this writing. Many people have experienced what you are describing here….maybe they are a little shy about their truths.(the black dog) This writing is explosive…..I can relate buddy.

This writing is SO expressive and so strong! Please add it to my Anger Management” Group. I am also going to favorite it, as it deserves a lot more attention than it has gotten.

great explosive writing about depression and aptly named “the black dog” !! To be caught in it I think would be hellish! Hope you have ways to be gentle with yourself mister :)

I love the metaphors you’ve covered in this piece. And I love the progression from a whimper to a whisper It is compelling writing xoxo
