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
