My Black dog

Black Dog

There's a black dog scratching at the door again

Yip & yowling for me to let him in

But I ain't gonna let him in

No I ain't gonna let him in

He can dam well stay outside

Well the black dog's names unknown

He big and black and his eyes are cold

He looks quite young but I know he's old

A mangy mutt, a scruffy thing

Always asking to be let in

He turned up a few years ago

He wasn't much just skin & bone

I fed him a few bit's of hate

He grew at a surprising rate

It wasn't long he was big n strong

But I didn't feel to good myself

That thing was eating my mental heath

The worse I felt the more he grew

That thing should have been in a zoo

He followed me everywhere

Maybe he thought I should share

The horrible feelings I felt inside

The fear, the hate, the need to hide

All the things I saw were bad

Nothing could make glad

I wanted it all to end

I didn't want to see my friends

One day I saw a gleam of hope

It came in the form of a joke

I laughed & laughed until I cried

It was then I knew I'd be alright

I was feeling good so called a friend

As the conversations came to an end

I saw his tail slink away

Skinny as the day he came

I just want to say

I hope he stays dam well away.

It's okay to talk

It's okay to chat

R U ok it's as simple as that

Ask a friend over for a cuppa

You can ask for help it doesn't need to be tougher

Chase the black dog away

There is no need to be ashamed

Were in this together

Look out for each other
