Life Taken Over

You weren’t of true interest because we haven’t truly met, 
My commitment regarding my parents, and my devotion towards success. 

You then seemed to pique my interest when my anxiety got the best, 
Although sadly this seemed to spiral into emotions and regress.

What would be claimed my best years would no longer take off as a success, 
Instead, they’d be the catalyst to my life’s sad and emotional depress.

I now walk amongst the others whose choices they deeply regret, 
I’m a shell of the person I once was, that society will soon forget.
