Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I admit,
Sometimes I do...
Feel not good enough.
...

If not for you,
My eyes would not be open wide...
To view things the way I now do.
If it had not been for you.
...

I appreciate your assessments.
And the time you have given.
But guess what?
...

You are right.
I have been rather harsh on you.
I should ignore you altogether.
Like the times you sometimes do.
...

Too controlling.
Many set out to prove from birth,
They could and would with a showing of self worth...
Fake to erase the slightest mistakes they've made,
...

You insisted the mist,
I should miss...
In the midst,
Of intimacy.
...

Things have gotten old.
And,
Things have gotten...
Better reminisced to live.
...

Just to 'if' it up and wish it be known,
What it is desired that would satisfy one's taste!
Would be great.
With delusions there included.
...

Standing in the heat to sit,
Like...
A Sycamore.
...

You're upset with regrets,
And yet...
You keep them in your weeping.
I think for you the best thing to get,
...
