Losing Everything

You wake up in the morning

To a day that is worse than the one before.

When rising from bed requires all the energy you have,

Everything else seems impossible.

You lose hope.

 

When the smile on your face

Is nothing more than an enigma of superficiality

Failing to extend beyond the muscles of your mouth,

Unable to pass the wall of darkness surrounding your soul.

You lose happiness.

 

You have people who love you.

HAD people who love you.

They want to go out with you.

But you can’t get out of bed.

They want to share their heartaches with you.

But you have enough of your own.

You lose friends.

 

You are hungry.

But the thought of making food

And chewing. And swallowing.

Is too much for you.

You lose weight.

 

The day ends, and you are exhausted.

Tired from the pain. The constant heartache.

Thoughts racing through your head.

The moment your body hits the sheets.

Sorrows and regrets tear through you

Like a flood in its path of destruction.

You lose sleep.

 

Every part of you begins to slip away.

You lose interest in all the things you used to enjoy.

You lose your personality.

You lose energy. Motivation. Desire.

You lose the will to live.

 

Told again and again you are what you WERE.

But you look in the mirror and see what you ARE.

Losing in a world where gaining is everything.

And after losing everything- hope, friends, weight, sleep, happiness.

You lose yourself.

And you are left with nothing.
