That's Okay! Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

That's okay!
Push me away.
Keep me at arm's length.
Deny what I say.
There is always two sides of a coin.
And I've seen both of them.
See things your way.
Protect yourself in that box you live in!
Trapped and wishing for yesterdays to begin...
Again.
That's okay!
Push me even further away.
And when the truth arrives at your door?
It will not softly knock.
It is going to kick it down.
And although I may not be around...
I'm sure you will be able to find 'someone',
Somewhere...
To come out of hiding,
With offers to sedate you!
