Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Take every lie you've heard,
To repeat to tell.
With a purpose perceived,
Had been worth it.
...

What makes you believe you still have options?

'I was told it is never too late.
With a taking of my time to make up my mind.'
...

An accomplishment achieved,
Is first acknowledged to believe...
By the one not in need,
To have it validated and certified...
...

Not a part of my existence,
Did I practice first or rehearse.
And not a lesson to me taught,
Came to me to quench a thirst.
...

Hearts that have been broken apart,
Have need of mending...
To bring that to an end.
...

Smooth surfaces do not begin,
With them paved to be laid that way.
And those unaccustomed,
To adventure with a making of their own path...
...

There is nothing like doing,
With a proving that is done...
To anyone believing,
Someone else is in need...
...

And with fears to disgard...
As they cross a bridge,
With a rounding felt in their hearts...
...

I have always been led to believe,
Anyone with initiative...
And a dream to create their own destiny,
Has prepared to achieve this...
...

As long as disrespect is accepted,
With a reflecting of all aspects...
Of an entitled life,
In which divisions are projected...
...
