Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

You want to make me believe...
That everything you've ever done,
Was for me.
But...
...

All of them the self-righteous types,
With ambtions to have status.
And socialize with whom they like.
These are the people who expect their lives,
...

Liars always seem to have their supporters.
Praising them for past deeds and activities.
Although they proclaim themselves,
To have morals and integrity.
...

Let's not get confused about this!
When I said I do not care...
I don't!
But let me clarify that.
...

They still insist,
Upon critiquing others lives.
With a passing of their judgements.
...

Keep it simple.
Avoid being stupid,
If...
This is a possibility.
...

The wounds of...
Those in secret and themselves bleed.
The wounds of,
People who in silence believe...
...

So difficult it is to understand an anguish,
When ambushed within one's zone of safety.
And that which threatens,
Comfortably sits near and goes ignored.
...

Okay!
So I am not as great as I 'think' I am.
In fact you have stated you find me obnoxious.
But at least we do come together to agree,
...

Facing North.
One unafraid to step forward,
Absorbs and soaks in...
This experience given.
...
