Life Such As It Is

I weep for the person I've lost  
an intelligent woman with a voice  
potent and lovely  
 
striving for sobriety  
with every ounce of my being  
failing at this task bitterly  
 
I can see the deterioration in my writing  
witnessing my own demise  
I'm so tired of my own thoughts I want to scream  
 
"you're stronger than this" I say  
but anxiety sets in and I'm not a fighter anymore  
really I think I'm full of self hate  
 
my mind not turning anymore  
personal growth at a standstill  
I'm hurting, I want to cry but can't  
 
I want to be that bright eyed intelligent lady again  
not the lack luster copy I've become
