My Dog Dep Ression

Packing a suitcase
To take the road
Travelling light in a 
‘Take everything’ mode

Instagram pictures 
Pets in with the clothes 
“I wish I could take them
But it just won’t close”

But what to do
When you can’t say no
To taking a dog
Wherever you go

When I go travelling 
I have no choice 
I take my dog 
And my internal voice

A big black dog 
Contained in my case
My luggage still light
Fixed smile on face 

My dog called Dep
Goes all over with me 
But my dog isn’t one 
For all to see 

He has is own passport
His surname is Ression
But here’s where I tell you
I have a confession 

Metaphorical Dep
The dog 
Clouds my thoughts
With a dark coloured fog

I try to leave him
He tags along 
I’ve learnt to accept 
He wants to belong 

So we go together 
Sometimes he decides 
How we both feel
Where sadness resides 

Sometimes, just sometimes 
I take control
And in to some happiness 
We both enrol

When you have a dog 
Big, black, just like Dep
Remember the journey 
Isn’t just one step
