Ravaged through Comedy

I`ve learned    
in days passed by    
more 'bout myself    
than quacks who pry      
    
perhaps Im too harsh,      
their true guise:      
Ushers lighting pathways      
to backstage inside      
    
practice space      
where Investors    
Produce passion plays      
where Director exposes selves    
we dare not betray      
    
after contact with shrinks    
and meds this year      
Ive entered arenas    
usually bypassed by fear      
    
Coliseums      
where Ive defeated demons      
Misery Science Theatres      
whose critics disparage    
moves made previous      
ravaged through comedy    
not savaged by sadists    
      
humour reduces      
painful truths    
to fluffy pillows      
      
it`s the only way    
I can explain      
how Ive stood up    
to unbearable drain      
given laughs to survive      
Outer husk    
torturously replaced by insides      
      
Ive traveled    
all over myself      
examined foundations    
upon which I dwell      
Externalization    
is the next move      
mobilize    
Improve      
    
conditions deeply felt      
deliver my own prayers    
as if Ive knealt      
for eons in musty pews    
      
impotent deities    
only refuse      
thats all One dimensional    
Icons can do      
munificent "GODs"    
created in backrooms      
"wisemen" groping    
bestow what they think best      
impose thin-margined    
views on the Rest      
 
impeding natures process    
setting trails of EVILution      
naively as child    
kills bug as solution      
    
Therefore    
I think its best    
that I issue    
my own egress
