Insurmountable
The Mountain as Metaphor
For Struggles inside.

Note for people struggling with the haiku count: Using apostrophes to cut out syllables might make you sound like Shakespeare, and possibly more than a little pretentious, but it's a valid and legitimate cheat.
Also, counting out on your fingers helps a lot.
(Particularly long note in order to hit the 100 minimum for poems)
Note for people struggling with mental health: There is a toll-free helpline available 24/7/365. What it's called will depend on your country, and there are even some international ones.

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.

Great metaphor!
Love how you made one word a whole sentence. Just like how depression is a sentence.
So true and I felt that ❤️
