Self-defeating Cycle

I sometimes find myself in a cycle where the circumstances that started the ball rolling, I just somehow ran with. And the problem and or situation just snowballed from there.

How did I get myself into this self-defeating cycle?

For myself, I see will never end.

Lord, please help me.

Can you not spare me one single friend?
My continuous state of utter loneliness,

Is not a misfortune I could ever let myself

Knowingly pass on to another.

As usual, constant overbearing doom,

Inevitability sweeps over and consumes me.

Still, somehow is seems to me to be in perfect tune.

Desperately I long to rid myself

Of the excruciating pain of always feeling low.

But I only end up contributing to the cycle,

Forced to own the fact that it is all I’ve ever known.

Happiness and content are alien to me.

Not yet within my grasp, but still I will reach.

Sometimes all we need is someone to give an encouraging word and you have us.

There’s such a tone of desperation to this poem. The photo compliments the emotion of the words.

In response to stephencardiff: No, none of it was copy and pasted or published anywhere else. I just for some reason had a very difficult and what turned out to be an impossible time trying to get all of the lines together. Sorry, nothing more for you to read.

Cool pic it looks like pain of love and he has had fill of the so called words of forever. I think you can do better then that or maybe I am wrong about your pen and its likes for the words of love.

I was very confused by the picture at first. I scrolled down from the title and saw it and my first thought was, “wait what does this have to do with anything?” Reading further I had to scroll back up and give the picture another look before it all came together. Very complimentary. Was it generated by the picture suggestion box?
