Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I'd like to keep,
You...
On my mind.
It's satisfying all the time.
...

'What did you notice?
What did you see? '

All of us stood and witnessed it,
Spiraling out of control.
...

I'm on a path of least resistance.
And its existence.
On a path of least resistance.-
I'm on a path of least resistance,
...

Is a return to appreciate someone,
Just too late?
When one discovers,
A position taken of a situation faked...
...

Father?
I know You have given me,
A freedom to choose.
A freedom to choose,
...

Motivation!
And devotion combined,
Seem to affix themselves...
With unequivocal discipline hinged,
...

If their parents had reasons,
Why they disliked themselves...
Like their parents before them did.
Maybe their children would be given opportunities,
...

It hurts to live a truth,
When a doing it many have done to refuse...
To see it for what it is.
Or prefer to make lieing as a choice to choose.
...

Seeking sympathy,
Is one way to gain attention.
Claiming to be victimized,
Is yet another way.
...

A giving to extremes,
Overplayed to plead one's faked case...
Fades to phase out.
...
