Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Those awakening to find,
How refreshing it is to mind one's own business...
Discover themselves enjoying,
An enriching life to live.
...

Some have needs to feel,
A part of something artificial.
And departing from what's real,
The grow to play roles that are superficial.
...

Lies to believe,
Will always be lies to believe.
Ask anyone why they have been convinced,
To protest against a revealing of truth.
...

Today,
Although needless and serves no purpose...
There are those still making attempts to escape,
With an erasing of their true 'selves'.
...

Encounters never before faced,
To surprise those unexpectedly...
It is always the best decision to make,
When confronted...
...

When certain people refuse to listen,
With nothing to comprehend or learn...
Why continue to waste time and unheard words?
What point is there to be made,
...

Who are these creatures with their minds fixed,
On obsessed importance and self-centeredness.
What makes minds like these,
Accept and believe it is never too late...
...

Anyone noticed to be seen moving forward,
With aggressive steps placed to make...
Is aware of keeping a focus kept,
On a life that is lived to experience what's next.
...

Many messages go unaccepted.
Since more today have grown too concerned,
Of the content offending perceptions of innocence.
With a kept belief,
...

I have already romanced ideals,
To believe my visions to be within reach.
I have already shared my conquests to experience.
With my taste to perceive others would accept,
...
