Know This In Your Heart And Believe Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Don't dig it up,
And it wont be the thing...
You wished dumped,
Not to discuss...
After pulling out of a slump,
Weighting down upon your shoulders...
With a carried hump.

Taken those lumps you've done.
None of which you chose to run from.
People like you succeed.
Know this in your heart and believe.

You deserve the serving of better days.

Ignore those with their issues.
Beaten on a drum when around you they come.
Refuse to be used and abused by them.
Acknowledge what they offer...
Has no benefit,
And what they bring you will and can resist.

You deserve the serving of better days.
Know this in your heart and believe.
