Commitment: The Road To Disappointment

All of my friends have settled down except for me
Perhaps living as an old maid in isolation is my appointed destiny
A continuing victim of liars, scammers, and players always looking to have fun
My romantic life always on hold; amid the clouds no room for the sun.


I see a prospect; causing me to move forward to dive into the romantic pool
Realizing too late the absence of water I am taken for a fool
I throw out my astrological sign with all the psychological baggage stored there within
Making many promises regarding family aspirations in my reign of isolation, despite many doubts, still hoping to win.


Day after day I press forward my desires upon the available screen
Hoping after a set period of time to finally finalize my dream
This system of behavior should bring my lucky other quickly into the fold
Never noticing amid a cloud of dust he is quickly running away from me down the nearest road.

About this poem:
Anxiety is a killer for all romance. People have to be patient to treat opportunity as a mechanism for growth and development rather then as a firing tool to strike quickly when the situation is hot. Knowledge is power. When the blind begin courting the blind only detours may result. Happiness replaces pain only when couriosity is fulfilled to the highest degree.

I am wondering if you are a lifecoach or similar? Do people actually 'have' to do anything? Knowledge has no need of power as it is infinite, perception may though.
Nice write but maybe you could wait until advise is sought?conversing
