Across Figurative and Literal Blackened White Board

Across figurative and literal blackened white board... Where death of democracy writ large, nevertheless psychological strength predominates unlike earlier chapters of mein kampf. Mine hardscrabble existential debacle spelled losing game swept me up in malevolent mindset far adrift from harbored haven; I floundered like a fish out of water entangled within woebegone raid. No matter figurative bar to challenge yours truly chiefly afflicted academic motives set ridiculously low, impossible mission presented to kite, overcome, and transcend mental, physical and social impasse rather I remained immobilized, paralyzed, unmoored to hurtle myself across horribly graded daunting challenges with flying colors and thus never established storied track record. Oft times (more so during formative years of boyhood and adolescence), I experienced absolute zero ambition wretchedness being alive spurring wonderment whereby thoughts of my demise didst drive analogous to buzzfeeding bees combing into their hive. Giddiness nursed, prevailed, and thrived 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 qua deadly mindset to whit resignation to cash in chips at a tender age, I did submit evidenced courtesy abysmal grades and exhibited resignation where effort to succeed did quit during stint as student kindergarten and first grade the exception earning appellation dummkopf or nitwit showcased apathy to access ability and excel stage door left, I wanted to exit overshadowed courtesy powerfully pointed outlook within his bedroom at 324 Level Road sequestered long haired pencil neck geek hermit four familiar walls constituted ambit. Refuge sought vis a vis withdrawal viz yule eyes starved body, mind and spirit from webbed wide world which as prepubescent constituted narrowly circumscribed range, whereby I denied, juiced refused sustenance (think anorexia nervosa, thus these lovely bones withered away thankfully dearest mother (a licensed practical nurse) of course intervened without delay belated acknowledgement regarding maternal love hip hip hooray enrolling expertise psychiatrist 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 esse aitch eye tee.
