My Relationship with Depression



They say it’s time for us to break up
For good this time
None of this playing games
But they don’t get
How much I need you
We’ve been together for so many years
I don’t even know who I am
Apart from you
I’ll admit it
You’ve been hard on me
You’re mean
You say nasty things about me
And sometimes I believe them
You’re miserable to be with
But where else would I go?
You’re the one who’s always been there
Sitting with me in the darkness
You’ve given me ways to cope—
Albeit unhealthy ways
You’ve reminded me
That I only have to live a little bit longer
And then I can rest
I know we’re dysfunctional
I know I should leave
But I don’t know how
Where would I go?
How can I separate myself
When we’ve become one?
Do I stay with my miserable partner
Or leave and be alone?
