Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

The only ones played by the game,
They have created...
Are those who refuse to accept and believe,
The fools they are attempting to make...
...

I did not begin this journey,
Seeking to be followed.
Or gave it a single thought,
As I kept focused with a purpose...
...

You made the choice to stay in one spot,
To complain what it is you have or have not.
And no matter who has done or said what to you,
Why do you continue to give power to it?
...

Whatever it is you need,
I'll do my best to get it.
Whatever it is,
To ease your mind.
...

Many have never sat to be deprived,
Of their addictions had most of their lives.
And many will never know what that feeling means,
With a sitting to sweat.
...

Everyone lives to leave memories,
For someone to digest.
As time progresses.
...

Keep patient with faith.
Stay prayerful, sincere with a doing that waits.
And as difficult as it may seem and is...
Divorce yourself from enforced fears,
...

Easier it is to judge,
Than it is to be the recipient...
Of a ridicule.
Followed by a sustained laughter,
...

When I began to prioritize my life,
By placing it at the top of my agenda...
With no debating it day or night,
Those who became offended by this choice I made...
...

A feeding offered to feast endlessly,
Has increased with a deepening...
Of a bottomless pit.
...
