insensitive

lets have a look at the problem in hand,
a pathetic figure
you're struck low now
by a malady that beaded brow
and streaky cheeks could not remedy,
though this hidden sport was a last resort
which you could ill afford,
your embarrassment bore no reward,
still your ego's manifestation
raised no eyebrows.
you burn inside for your wounded pride
decaying to self-contempt,
the knowledge that you've been outdone
by someone else's rising sun
hurts more than any cuts you've done
but like the cuts your pride will heal
if you can teach a worm to feel.
