Whipping Boy

In a child's blueprint
Most telling memories 
Lay dead and buried 
Prior to ghosts that torment him grown

The plain act
Of daydreaming
Has ways to call forth
A multitude of zombies from his past

Like a family friend playing father
After Dad's recent demise
Assisting the mother easily overcome
By her youngest boy dubbed Exceptional

Taken aside and told
He's really something
But aware it did not amount to a lot
Through the eyes of those most dear
