Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

People like you,
ALWAYS think they know everything.
You 'act' too arrogant.
As if you had to experienced,
...

It may be romanticized to realize.
And granted to fulfill a wish.
But the one who has to make it happen,
With a guarantee to get...
...

That's absolutely foolish of you,
To believe I would have 'no' opinion...
After telling you twice,
I wish I could see more of your eyes.
...

I'm not leaving nothing.
I'm not leaving 'nothin',
Near my feet to peep.
I'm not leaving nothing,
...

Okay, I admit it.
I confess my weaknesses to be addressed.

I have not been acquitted from making mistakes.
...

Who have grown tired and refuse...
To accept aging concepts.

I am with today's youth,
Who see clear through pretentions...
...

Realizing compromising...
Doesn't mean one is left not to succeed.
To compromise,
Leaves a benefit for those to see...
...

I can and have...
Forgiven anyone that has done,
Something devious and mischievous...
In my past.
...

Paid to stay faked,
For celebrity sake and adulation saved...
Can addict and will kill,
An innocence once had and just for thrills.
...

One never knows,
What 'truths' are left standing.
When so much depends,
Upon lies...
...
