Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

They believed it would be quite easy,
To replace those innovative...
With their fake creations.
And no one would notice.
...

When will I ever write 'something' you like?
Probably never.
Since you seek to have your appetite pleased...
And I will never cater to those who player hate.
...

Is he a hypocrite?
Another self righteous sleaze,
To be known to victimize boys...
With compelling sermons,
...

If I attempted to please...
I would leave nothing accomplished.
Nothing that would satisfy my urge,
To leave something that validates...
...

When I first met denial,
It was masked as if casted from my face.
I looked into the mirror to evaluate its presence.
And on that particular day...
...

Is it possible to turn this ship around?

'Sure.
Let's look on the bright side of this situation.
...

Like a light bulb that dims,
Those unconscious...
Are lost within.
And disconnected...
...

The party is over, folks!
Now I seek volunteers,
To help me clean.
...

The moment you let go,
Of what you believe is discreet.
With a keeping to yourself,
Secrets you wished not to be leaked.
...

Find a purpose in life you like.
And be assertive.
With a boldness you control.
...
