Black dog

by S.J.

At the tender age of fourteen

I acquired this unwanted pet

it's followed me round like a bad smell

everything's bad about it

I don't even have to call

and it's there at my feet,

pawing and clawing at my state of mind

depression isolated

I have found a good treatment

when I am in a depression or a melancholy mood,
