Humpty Dumpty

"Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall, All the kings horses and all the kings men, couldn't put humpty together again."
They called him an egg, for he was round and glee, They laughed at his nose so very big and ugly. They called him names, Humpty Dumpty was sad They threw rotten eggs and it made Humpty mad. His mother would comfort she said he was unique Don't mind those kids, Don't care what they think You are meant to be Much more that your look A rush of confidence is all that it took Humpty Dumpty got smart the smartest of them all Up on his high horse he would never fall He accomplished a lot as he rode to the top his super ego charged, it would never stop He ruled over the land with strong fists and war He took from the good and from the bad he took more Humpty Dumpty terrible king He in fact was very mean Mother came to him one day "you're the worst I've seen" Her visit made him sad regret spread across his face He climbed his castle wall and gazed over his ruling place He took a breath full of despair he was rotten to the core His ego landed and down he fell, shattered forever more. All the kings men gathered to see Humpty Dumpty crying loud He had yolk on his face oh this egghead was not proud He renounced his leadership and started a chicken farm He stayed away from others so he would never cause harm But he could hear them laughing he was scrambled inside It boiled him deeply until the day he was fried.

It is sad how things that happen when you are young can fester inside and turn you written.
