Inferiority Complex

Although yours truly modest, the only personal issue I will lightly boast about constitutes lingering self worthlessness bred if not prior to first grade, than most definitely incipient, academic deadlines loomed large with dread and exacerbated by procrastination quickly adopted as linchpin damned obsessive compulsive currents (i.e. thoughts) fed modus operandi, which intricate schema writ over lifetime invisible within this talking head who ironically enough never uttered a beep engendered from lack of confidence, esteem, somehow worthlessness, insignificance, emasculation, et cetera took root, and didst leap (axon to neuron) and said mindset did seep percolating into every nook, and cranny comprising aging shades, transformed gray matter, sans this beatle browed bummer, a deep purple, though easily mistaken for minuscule Uriah Heap, or perhaps, ewe might notice, (albeit while in a sheep push disposition) similarities between mine fist sized thinker, and another creep pee totally tubular Charles Dickens character, or maybe even a commercial for nano bot sized jeep grand Cherokee keep up a moderate clip despite, and/or because I oft times feel a light buzz sensation within me quite average gummed up noggin jammed numb skull, (essentially barren aged teenage wasteland recently undergoing gentrification), (yeah how really) excite ting, a no brainer fright fully glommed with peevish gobbledygook plus worthless, obsolete, and crammed academic right hand busily twiddling, scribbling, and sloppily drafting error riddled assignments deliberately failing heavily marked with bright colors adding oomph to mental blight punctuated by attaining puny height (...oh, about seventy inches), nonetheless, my slight physique and mute quiet as a mouse, I might as well hove been a stand in for Charlie Brown right down to the tree eating kite good grief - never an ending fight with Lucy, hence now this knight in rusty armor forever disparaged his might and attests to 20/20 hind sight!
