Circle of Madness

Insecurities fuel paranoia
paranoia fuels fear
doubt and weakness of self 
fuels that paranoia that others
are alike which fuels fear of being hurt
cheated on
lied to because you know there is alack of trust
lack of control 
fuels fear
fuels paranoia
fuels insecurity
one must doctor themselves
to be strong
to trust
they wont be hurt
to not show their weak character to be liked back
there are many reasons to look for softer places
to feel numb
to forget the sensitivity
of every day life
regret
mistakes
fondness of the path of least resistance
struggle and tears
one doctors themselves the best way they know how
the ways they have seen done before
there is no answer
