The Black Dog Blues

This is definitely a unique take in this anthology's "In Too Deep" theme.  In these poems, it's about coming face to face with what you hold inside. Would you treat your inner darkness as a friend to walk beside?

Two beautiful poems that show the journey of the black dog (depression).

You have to accept depression as a part of who you are, rather than the enemy.

Two wonderful poems about the life journey those who suffer from depression follow. tim fought it for many years with drugs and therapy. Since choosing to see depression as part of who he is, rather than the enemy within, he's found life easier. Acceptance that he travels life's road with depression, has made it somewhat easier. 

These two poems are full of hope and acceptance. 

As always, tim has shown a fantastic take on the beast called depression and made it so relatable. His imagery is nothing short of phenomenal. 

Poetry has never been one of my go-to's, but I will read every word of whatever tim posts because he's a master of words. 

Thanks for sharing xoxo

A very unique take on a subject many people are intimately familiar with. 

Excellent job!

Powerful poetry, and likely relatable for way too many of us. Definitely worth a few minutes of your time. Cheers!

Thank you for sharing.  These poems are thoughtful and thought provoking.  I see my own experience, but I also see someone else’s.  It is helpful to hear you  express your own journey.  I found the first resonating more with me personally, but I appreciated them both immensely.  

These two poems are very powerful and enlightening.  They will sound familiar to any of you who have ever dealt with depression, even if only for a short time.  Thankfully, Tim was able to write his way through that bleak period so he could share many of his wondrous creations with us.
