a regular guy.
I'll never ever e- not sure how I feel about this enjambment. seems lazy, though a little cummings, perhaps.
ven give it a try.
I'll ever cleverly
deny the lie. I think this line falls flat. Especially given the 'but'. there needs to be more of a contradiction, such as 'live that lie'. Yes, you lose the internal rhyme.
But
I'll never,
ever be
a regular,
guy. I like the enjambment in the stanza but you can lose the commas and move 'guy' up to L3
As Duke said, Welcome back. Not a bad reentry. I like the rhythm and evolving rhyme. I also like the repetition of the last stanza with edits. More importantly, it is relatable. IMO S3 L2 is the crux. You nail that line and you've got a winner.
Take care,

PS critique is the currency, what's your bottom line?
