A Trivialized Living Of Life Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Many have never sat to be deprived,
Of their addictions had most of their lives.
And many will never know what that feeling means,
With a sitting to sweat.
Without a 'fix' to get next to regret feeling demeaned.

Many perceive a sacrificing comes,
Without a decision to make that's heartbreaking.
Or to give up what is treasured.
Since many cling onto what they possess,
Just to address impressions to measure and reflect.

Many who have lived spoiled lives don't believe,
Limitations one day they will experience to receive.
And when that time happens,
Many for the first time will feel deep grief.
With expectations to get quick empathy,
From those who have known...
The strength that comes from healing alone.
To have grown from a trivialized living of life.
