Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I write from my heart.
And...
That my thoughts or feelings,
Go misunderstood not to comprehend...
...

I thought you told me you were moving away?

'I did.'

Oh.
So you are here on a visit?
...

My place is where my footsteps are traced,
To validate as made to make known.
It took me a long time to see it that way,
Since I only adventured...
...

Few seek relationships to end in ruin from rust.
But those who make claims not to know,
When signs began to show deterioration...
Are the very ones who implemented,
...

Each day I can not say,
The unknown I welcome.
And I have no fear of it.
But I do keep a faith,
...

Incorrect perceptions,
Are imposed and projected...
By those with unchanged beliefs.
And fixed to satisfied stagnation.
...

Good For You.
You've cast your fears away.
And good for you,
Everyday is a brighter day.
...

We all come to experience 'our' truths.
We all come to experience,
Realities lived others may not accept.
Or come to believe,
...

There is nothing you have in common with me.
I have been blessed to keep the depth of my anguish,
Concealed from exposing its appearance on my face.
You have no idea what it takes,
...

Many young are so accustomed,
To seeing themselves addressed ignorantly...
Religiously follow like sheep in these steps,
And accept this as to reflect...
...
