We Are Not Of The 'But-If' Kind Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

A wanting with wishes to get,
Takes much more than just wanting it.
Desire with sacrifice and initiative,
Are requirements one has to prioritize...
Until what is wished,
Becomes reality to exist.

And limiting one's mind to a certain time,
Creates doubts to toss about...
One can not rid from becoming disappointed.
To then leave what is wanted with wishes to get,
Found to discover when shared with others...
A welcoming of their own discouragements.

Since people like this sit and await,
To hear from someone else who gave their time...
And now convinced for them it's too late,
Because the doing to be done...
Has been marred by having an unlucky fate.

'I use to think the same thing too.
Until I removed time from my desires.'

~Will you please leave us alone to share are grief.
This conversation is only for those feeling unlucky.
We are not seeking to be encouraged,
By those motivated and inspired by initiative.
Isn't it obvious to you,
We would rather sit and complain? ~

'But...'

~Sssshhhh.
We are not of the 'but-if' kind.~
