Your Words To Me Exactly Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Am I new on 'this' scene?
No...
Not at all.
I'm surprise you do not remember me.

Remember the one you said,
Was full of negativity?
And my observations,
Could be more positive than they are...
And someday would be!
If I accepted my dysfunctions.
And not try to accuse my environment for them.
Remember when you said to me,
I lived in my own world!
And that world others would never see?
Because I was denying my own insecurities?
And those were your words to me exactly!

Am I new on 'this' scene?
No...
Not at all.
I'm surprise you do not remember me.

However...
I remember that fresh look,
With a dancing clarity in your eyes.
You seem to have gotten addicted.
And I told you then...
I was just stricken with embitterness.
Never could I become fatally attracted...
To potential!
And you seem to have overdosed on delusion.
With a 'potential' to leave you 'crazed'.

I have never been filled with jealousy.
Or succumb to accept defeat.
