Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

More will abandon those issues,
Said to be unjust.
By those outspoken,
To focus attention brought upon them.
...

You seem to have no problem,
Admitting those things you've done.
Even those things not socially accepted,
Others in a similar position...
...

I did not come from a place,
To have my credentials certified.
With proof I qualify to be limited.
To then sit and become upset by this.
...

Could I live with myself,
Sleeping with a seeking...
To revenge an act done to me,
Deeply sinking in as if intended?
...

People evil leave a permanent stain...
Felt like nothing other.
People evil leave a permanent stain...
And forever this is suffered.
...

If truth was a factor,
There'd be no backup to go after.
If,
Truth was a factor.
...

Did. Did you do a panic.
With a frantic...
Undoing panic?
...

And when you come,
There's no retreating.
When you come...
There is no leaving from me.
...

I admit,
Sometimes I do...
Feel not good enough.
...

If not for you,
My eyes would not be open wide...
To view things the way I now do.
If it had not been for you.
...
