Depression takes toll,

Your life unfolds.

Drifting into self-isolation, locked in your room, becomes your means of vacation.

Afraid to look in the eyes of your own reflection,

As it tends to portray your own deception.

Know what you must do, but can't find yourself doing it.

You're in charge of your own life, but you seem to be the one which ruins it.

Your significant other lends their support, but your emotions and insecurities drive you to distort.

You need time, to tackle this on your own, even if it means neglecting the love that was shown.

You stay by yourself and try to finish this race;

As your significant other reminds you not to confuse distance with space.
