Needs Wished Met To Please Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I am not without desires,
Or needs wished met to please.
I can ignore temptations.
But not for long or permanently.

I am not without emotions.
Left to go unnoticed,
Or to leave unaddressed.
And yet...
Neither will I be the one expected,
To neglect my wants to have them rejected.

I am not without desires,
Or needs wished met to please.
I can ignore temptations.
But not for long or permanently.
I can if I choose go with the flow.
Although to roll with the punches?
Is not appealing to 'my' ideal life to live.
