Trespassing Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Arrogance?
Yes.
I totally agree.
Freed from the traps of subservience,
Lacking a self confidence...
Dragged in diminished esteem disapproved,
And belittled.
Demeaned as wished,
By those dishing out critique and slander.
Branded as a failure to drift and meander...
In pools of sorrow?
Grieving never came so easy!
Yesterday.
Like the passing of those delays now buried!

Today,
Those days do not come for prelonged visits...
To chit and chat uninvited to 'drop' debris anymore.
Much like assessments cleared and ignored.

You are trespassing on re-evaluated territory.
I won this...
It has been earned well!
And you carry no influence here!
None that I seek or wish to cherish!

Arrogance?
Yes.
I totally agree.
But I am not the 'landlord' here.
I simply oversee!
And I aim to do my very best...
Until 'He' decides it is ready to be retrieved!
