Something Inside Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

If one is misunderstanding,
The connection between...
Passion,
Sacrifice and discipline.
Loyalty and devotion...
And the love of life,
To experience what it takes...
Being fortunate to witness,
The unfolding of happiness...
Through trials and tribulations?

Something...
Inside of their minds,
Does not accept!

And to survive defeating obstacles,
With heartaches to shake?
Someone delusional lives in wait,
Procrastinating in needless self debate...
For someone else,
To deliver to them their expectations.

Something...
Inside of their minds,
Does not accept!

And...
That had already been done,
An expectation!
When they were gifted with birth!
Just like everyone else...
That has come to feel the rays of Sun.
And this is an occurrence that has happened,
With or without their acknowledgement!

Something...
Inside of their minds,
Does not accept!

Yet,
Hopefully...
One day this all connects!

Turbulence,
Begets turbulence...
Begets no peace felt,
To be from one released!
