with every gain comes a loss

you gain a lover
you lose your freedom.
you date your best friend
that friendship is gone.
if you eat you're not hungry
but weight is a burden
and if you dress the way you like
you're laughed and not heard.
have sex for the first time
they've taken your virginity
become one with your partner
and now you've lost unity.
take meds you feel better
you smile maybe laugh
stop for one day
and it all goes bad.
