The other side of gain, a Poem- an exempt from THE WIND OF MY SAILS by Winfridah C Mcekeni.

Gains i have gained

In gain I have lost

In gain I have lost myself

The more I gain, the more I am lost

Slowly fading away in the twilight of gain

Slowly I am vanishing, washed, and swept under

Slowly I am resigned, consumed, i succumb in gain

In gain I am exorbitant, far in contrivance I live

In sublunary submission I am folded in gain

I live not for the pleasure of my creator

I live life for the pleasure of envious eyes

my neighbor measures my gain with envy

lost in gain i have successfully lost my integrations 

A mediocre I run my success, successfully to my loss

losing faith in my hands, and my trust in my maker

I am lost to a robotic world that rules my dwellings

losing constantly, betrayed by hi-tech, I replace my tech

in pursuit of enlightenment, I increase my stress

I am constantly numbing myself to live

On a pill I live to seek the self I once knew

I have gained too much, but less for my containment

I gain more, but I am one Less

the more I gain the more I want

The more gain, but still one More less for my satisfaction

In gain I am lost 

To lose gain, is gain, but loss only to my eyes

To gain gains is loss if gain does not gain you self

To lose self is tragic

if gained gain does not gain you life purpose

I gain and safeguard my gain to live above my gains
