Frangible Ego Abysmally Copes

Unrelenting blitzkrieg deadly

assault upon psyche

pounded defenseless

vulnerable mindscape accustomed

to shelter within aproned crease

mama proffered manna, especially

when untethered meek docile lad

subjected to blistering hellfire

infamous hoodlums wantonly unleashed

verbal bombardments lobbing poison

spear tipped invisible blackened barbs

manifold times more agonizing

piercing, targeting, xraying...

guaranteed fatal skull and crossbones

unseen insignia wrought utmost damage

one hundred percent accuracy

ferociously besieging, jackknifing, pummeling...

successfully character assassinating,

a diminutive boy cursed with ideal traits

strongly tempted, delectably savored,

violently bullied (short of physical

stature violated, though seditious)

emotional violation wrought lifelong

oppressive worthlessness complimented

amply by absolute zero self confidence

distilled thru conception in utero

until parturition on a bitterly cold

January thirteenth (apparently small,

medium forces at large, sans right

buffalo wing conspiracy) instigating

ear splitting wailing testing threshold

of tolerance, no crying game, but

palpable anatomical and physiological

dislocations afflicting yours truly

with breathing difficulty courtesy

submucous cleft palate pronouncing

strong nasality, when acquiring speaking

ability more cause to ridicule upon

commencing attendance within Lower

Providence School District, where kids

said nastiest, meanest, foulest, cruelest...

unsolicited comments pointedly jabbing air

mocking severe twang plus pigeon toed gait

the latter rectified with custom made

contrivance crafted by papa that forced

little feet turned outward during sleep,

which less significant aberration became

corrected as I got older, but self shaming

and blaming assimilated thru incessant

intimidation, inundation, invitation...

passive personality tacitly allowed,

provided, and enabled entire classroom

to assail helpless looking human creature

'pon entering home burst into tears!
