Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Few seek relationships to end in ruin from rust.
But those who make claims not to know,
When signs began to show deterioration...
Are the very ones who implemented,
...

Good For You.
You've cast your fears away.
And good for you,
Everyday is a brighter day.
...

There are those with insecurities,
Who believe them to be less noticeable...
If they are quick to point out the flaws,
And blemishes of others in public.
...

'What on Earth are you doing? '

I'm trying to get inside.
But I don't want to offend anyone.
...

Many young are so accustomed,
To seeing themselves addressed ignorantly...
Religiously follow like sheep in these steps,
And accept this as to reflect...
...

An acceptance of what is,
To move on from it...
Increases the prospects of progress.
Although one will eventually admit,
...

There is nothing you have in common with me.
I have been blessed to keep the depth of my anguish,
Concealed from exposing its appearance on my face.
You have no idea what it takes,
...

We all come to experience 'our' truths.
We all come to experience,
Realities lived others may not accept.
Or come to believe,
...

What there is I give,
Is given and not to borrow.
You can take it to claim it yours.
That which I give.
...

Hey...
Everything done today,
Occurred as you had 'your' way.
With opportunities to contemplate,
...
