i lost

I was very proud of it. But i lost it.All my friends envied me for this.I lost it.I have aloways boasted about it.But, now have i lost it. I have been stripped of my pride, my......my precious! .I have changed. My outlook has changed.I am no longer the original ME. I am dependent now.I am lost.I am dejected.
I have been deprived of it
(i know i am making a heavy weather out of it and going a bit over the top.......i valued it that much!)
