Ten
4/10/19
In a matter of ten seconds I've lost everything I've ever loved. At first it started simple. I lost the simple things that I thought didn't matter. I hadn't realized how much I needed them until they were gone.
One, I had simply lost my sanity along with the vanity I never had. My mind going in circles as I stare into an imaginary mirror.
Two, my pencils. The very thing I using to write this emotional less poem. The very last thing I thought I would need to survive.
Three, my journal. A journal, the very last thing a fourteen year old would need. Within the lightest of blue notebooks held my deepest darkest fear, love.
Four, my phone. A tiny rectangular box that held all my cringiest photos. Along with heartbreaking messages from breakups that happened so long ago.
Five, my eye sight. Something that I took for granted my entire life. Without my sight how can I write, or even try to.
Six, my depression. In some ways I'm actually glad I lost it. At times I miss it, I don't know why. Depression was a safe haven in many ways but none were good.
Seven, my family. The people who were supposed to care for me never did. It's more like they lost me rather than I lost them.
Eight, my cat Ziggy. A smaller me in animal form. A ball of fur filled with so much love and joy. My little tiger and protector.
Nine, my best friends. The people who stayed by my side through everything. My loves. They loved me when I couldn't love myself.
Ten, my life. The one thing I didn't expect to lose so soon.
