Across figurative and literal board... mine hardscrabble existential debacle spelled losing game of trouble

rew4er2nail

Oft times, I experience wretchedness being alive

spurring wonderment whereby thoughts

of my demise doth drive

analogous to buzzfeeding bumbling bees

combing into their hive.

Giddiness prevailed

when coronavirus (COVID-19)

warranted quarantine to diminish

transmitting pandemic virus thru the air

lifestyle change no major imposition,

cuz yours truly already familiarized

with self isolation

courtesy his social anxiety despair

schizoid personality disorder the diagnosis

nsync with loathsome

body morphology toward self

viz mental health impasse a legitimate malady

impossible mission possibly

since in utero didst impair

minimally abetted courtesy

Buffalo wing and a prayer

wishful thinking only death can relieve

some recently approaching year.

Indifference toward self sums up story

viz mindset to whit

resignation to cash in chips

at a tender age, I did submit

evidenced courtesy abysmal grades

during stint as student

kindergarten and first grade the exception

earning appellation dummkopf or nitwit

showcased apathy to access ability and excel

overshadowed courtesy powerfully pointed outlook

within his bedroom at 324 Level Road

sequestered long haired pencil neck geeky hermit

four familiar walls constituted ambit.

Refuge sought vis a vis withdrawal

from world wide web
refusing sustenance (think anorexia nervosa),

thus these lovely bones withered away

thankfully mother (a licensed practical nurse)

of course intervened without delay

belated acknowledgement

regarding maternal love hip hip hooray

enrolling expertise of Doctor Ted Goldberg
at Collegeville Community counseling

to ameliorate psychological internal melee

running rampant and roughshod within me psyche

pushing self destruction down into stairway
entering portals of hell

analogous to Earthen bowels

deep within Zimbabwe.

Whether the above sentence incidental

to feeble attempt at reasonable rhyme

so please geography buffs pardon moi

add dull less cent delinquent puns

he did cashier plus

any unintended faux paus as aspiring poet

artfully crafts elaborated gimcrackery,

albeit impious kooky mishmashed

outlandish quirky s*it.

    I just laud
    the unflinching bravery of veracity
    in everything you write, dear poet
    a part of me that recognises
    the raw angst of mental suffering
    you eloquently depict, empathises with you;
    still, unlike so many who can't find an outlet
    for their pain
    some of us, have been gifted that poetic release
    of self-expression's - inked, escape...
    a humbling experience to read your truth, dear poet
    thank you for sharing
    (I posted something a while back
    that you might find relatable
    and somewhat of a comfort to read, I know I often
    go back to read it, as a reminder
    that we're never alone, in our suffering when there are
    so many who can share, relate and understand:
