Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

'NOOOBODY KNOOOWS,
THE TROUBLES I'S SEEN.
NOOOBODY KNOOOWS MY SORROWS.'
...

If it is wanted and wished,
Solutions can be found...
To mend and fix,
Problems existing to correct them.
...

Anyone can imagine,
Someone else's life to live.
But that's it.
To live, feel and experience,
...

Truth to face is painful.
When squeezed from crevices,
Where denials tried...
To keep it buried to hide.
...

There are times the right thing,
For another to do...
Is too soon to be appreciated.
It is not realized to recognize,
...

It has been long overdue,
For minds to be used.
Instead of eyes to cry tears.
And knees to quickly bend.
...

Why should it take,
Hearts to break with pain that aches...
To bring people to accept and believe,
These activities are not a rarity.
...

A mess planted to start,
In one's own backyard to implement.
Has to be first admitted done.
With a confessing of being responsible,
...

Maintaining one's sanity,
These days is a precious gift.
And a treasure to acknowledge,
Protecting it...
...

Major changes needed done,
Do not come tailored to custom fit.
Or await for anyone,
Wishing time to make adjustments.
...
