Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Why have you come,
To sabotage my dreams...
With a fresh set of agitations?
...

Untreated deceptions can defeat.
And those addicted to their weaknesses,
Are often comforted by those overprotective...
With a using of empathy to remedy this disease.
...

If in the being of yourself,
Has become disliked by someone else...
Why dwell upon it?
...

When one picks on another,
Out of their league of abilities...
There is going to be a display,
Of animosity.
...

'Ouch.'

Once again,
Do you mind describing it?
For some reason,
...

When there is no sign of integrity around,
What is the point of announcing it missing?
And to who or whom would it be known,
If nowhere on the scene any of it is shown?
...

Rise to the occasion each time met.
No matter how brisk cool breezes blow.
Or temperatures heated to leave you wet.
Bring with it uncomfortable humidity.
...

As I sat nestled amongst the weeds,
I remember how high I use to get.
But these days I have grown to have allergies.
And coughing to sneeze with just one puff,
...

Practice every step.
Do not second guess what it takes.
Practice every step.
Practice every step.
...

Everyday comes,
To give all opportunity...
And a chance to appreciate,
What that day offers and brings.
...
