Verbally Constipated
Verbally constipated.
You want my story.
Sorry, it’s too complicated.
You would get lost in my mind.
On its roads the good guy
Is left constantly behind
You ask what I think of me?
Best to not concern yourself
With an imprisoned fool
That has been set free.
Why are you chasing words?
To prove my strength
Heck if batman offered me his cape.
That wouldn’t be enough
You ask what about all I achieved.
Still being processed
By a mind that’s been deceived
Surprised, you ask why I don’t bow out.
Cause I will never be the
Pawn of that coward self-doubt
Let him think my head is spinning!
Mission accomplished.
If he thinks he’s winning

Full of double entendre...
this piece is a wise-cracking
head full of ideas about self-worth and doubt.
Nice seeing a person not too full of themselves, and capable of
emptying it out on the page. ~ Geezer.

Hi, Paul,
A familiar conversation we've all probably had with ourselves. Your final stanza is clever, and could stand alone with its meaning.
Thank you,
