In a world of shadows cast by pain and doubt,

Depression's grip on you grows with each passing day out.

Two friends, once dear, now gone, leaving you alone,

Lost in a world where laughter no longer rings like a chime in your home.

The weight of your body, a source of mocking shame,

You starve yourself in secret, a desperate attempt to tame.

Clinging to calorie counts as your only guiding light,

A battle against your own reflection, a fight without a fight.
