Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Well...
Here I go again!
Wanting to be loved,
Just the way I was...
...

No matter what those arguments.
Or the exchanging of a bitterness meant.
Without you in my life,
I've spent...
...

No longer am I in the business,
Of donating time I regard as valuable...
For the purposes of others,
To hesitate in procrastination...
...

Some things needn't be made,
Public announcements.
Like a miserable childhood...
Lived being taunted and misunderstood.
...

With a strapping that is saddled,
On the backs of the middle class...
Unhappy are the legal thieves,
Who express sadness those promises...
...

I close my eyes...
And no boundaries appear.
I open them and quickly see...
Restrictions that are limited.
...

Find it.
Your purpose.
Once it has been discovered,
Do not let it be undermined.
...

Uniting to rid themselves,
Of those people they disliked...
Has found them surrounded with incompetence.
And no one innovative enough,
...

Most times a warning,
Isn't as effective...
As the experience itself.
...

Baby...
We all have awakened to have those 'maybe' days!
With a feeling of 'maybe' we will.
Or 'maybe' we wont...
...
