For years the black dog has chased me in the darkness. I ran and ran until I couldn't run anymore. Then recently a light shone on me and I started to believe maybe, just maybe, things could get better.

But today that light disappeared and the darkness is all around once again. My sense of hopelessness has returned and so has the black dog.

What's more he seems bigger and stronger than before while I feel weaker than ever, so weak I don't feel I have it in me to keep fighting him.

And it leaves me wondering is there really any point in continuing this fight. Maybe it's time to just let him win.
