The Tired Cynic – 31st January 2025

I got tired of cynicism
Though it was fun when done well
My downfall, the criticism
From those who couldn’t tell

Well beyond the sceptical
The game no longer inspiring
Now to hide from all spectacle
That my ego was requiring

Once I’d met my match
I saw what I might become
Reset to start from scratch
Before I’d further succumb

So now just slightly twisted
My outlook is a little skewed
The way I have persisted
Was the better way pursued
