The sin in cynical

I wonder at what point in my life I became a cynic
I still do not possess a definitive answer
Regardless how often it is I give this question thought
Perhaps it’s when I was a child
The moment I first realized love despite all of its potential,
failed again and again when compared to selfish desires
Even though I did not know the word,
it is possible the seeds were planted then
It also could've been when I was a young man
Maybe after witnessing years of ugly things I came to the conclusion,
that the world and people in it were ugly as well
To be honest it could be any one of a large number of instances in my life
Far too many to list them all hear at any rate
Believe me I would love to be able to say I am just misunderstood,
that deep down as most cynics claim I am but a romantic
This might have even been true at one point,
but as of this moment it would be a lie
So should I find fault with the world like so many others before me
Throw my gauntlet down at its feet and demand satisfaction
All the while it just continues to spin,
remaining forever indifferent to the tribulations of man
Or finally admit to myself that the person who is responsible,
the one who lost hope and put the sin in cynical was actually just me
