Lawrence S. Pertillar Motivation Poems

Everyday is an audition,
For those with gifts and committed.
With strict discipline inflicted,
The ones devoted can not sit.
...

For 'what' do I need you?

You are the one who used me to create,
Your vicious lies and alibis...
...

What is wrong with you?
You have just been slandered.
Your good deeds done diminished.
Your character is daily assassinated.
...

If you are not taking who you are seriously...
Why?
Are your expectations,
So high!
...

A challenge given to anyone,
Seen and observed to be ambitious.
And with a motivation you wished kept energized!
Tell them...
...

One must never forget,
The generosity expressed...
By those who are naysayers.
...

Choosing what one wishes to do,
Is at first ridiculed.
Especially if what is seen to be done,
Appears to be impossible.
...

Further they slide into angst and division,
Believing themselves victorious...
Since a determination to split into pieces,
Is evident.
...

We seem to always seek that need,
To find a comfort feeding to please.
Wishing we were given space...
When it is wanted,
...
