My Mind Will Not Allow You To Escape Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Don't ever use me to lie,
To defend your insecurities.
My integrity,
Is not appreciative of that.

Do not get yourself entrapped,
By the use of those acts.
You will not enjoy the outcome,
If done! And that is a fact.

Or the consequences,
I decide to apply.

That turn the other cheek business?
God knows I have a problem,
In the doing of it!

My mind will not allow you,
To escape unscathed.
As if what you have done to me,
Has my endorsement.
And is okay!

It isn't!
