Life’s Vicious Cycles
By: Tim Simonsen

My life it seems,
May be out of control.

Always trying to prove something,
To fulfill the role.

I know I am me,
I am my own man.

I make my own choices,
I must take a stand.

I will fight for my life.
A life that is worth living.

No more deception & taking,
only warm hearted giving.

No more resentments,
Towards a ***** up past.

It can’t be re-written,
Only accepted, then stashed.

But always it seems,
My disease progresses.

I relapse... & say “***** it”
Over life’s little stresses

This vicious cycle of failure,
Never gets better.

I’m depressed, feel rejected,
And a horrid goal setter.

I've tried other drugs, to “control” the using,
I've even tried sex & casual Boozing.

I want to be free...of obsession, and using.
My life needs to change; I am tired of losing.

I know life will be blissful,
If my ***** is in sync.

Then I fill with fright,
Of what success could bring.

I have extreme potential,
to do anything, I desire.

All I need is a jump-start,
To spark some sort of fire.

Typically when things, begin to fall into place
I’m plagued with fear, of what I will face.

Either Fear of failure? Or fear of achievement?
I get engulfed in mass... mental disagreement.

It could be worse, I haven’t been homeless
I should be grateful, at least I have this poem.

Freedom of mind, and freedom of speech,
If I'm using dope, jail’s all I'll reach.

Being drug free....The sky’s the limit.
I know only “I” have the power to dim it.

Currently... my *****’s all out of whack.
As I am now sitting here smoking some crack.

I know, that I now, can get my life back,
Get what I’ve wanted, & a wife with a rack.

Along with the wife, I’ll have learned alot,
Of what I have lost, & what I have fought.

The battle’s bloody
But I’ll persevere.

No doctor, nor you, have a cure.
For the addiction, that I must fear.

Like I said, only I can change it,
The time is now, to re-arrange it.

This life I live,
It’s so damn crazy.

The future I hope
Shall be all changing.

So I can be happy &,
live a life worth living,

This is the end,
Of this rhyme that I wrote.

I’d like to end it with one simple quote,
“This too shall pass, so keep on fighting”

I hope you liked this creation in writing.
