Depth Is Connected To This Process Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

If I know I have been disrespected,
For the experiences I have gained...
To earn and not be given.
And you did this to show my growth process,
As something no more than a passing fad!
What makes you think I should remain patient,
With a tolerance to accept your choice to stay ignorant?
And I had no choice but to face my obstacles alone,
While you made the decision to run away from yours.

What makes you think those changes I have accepted,
Would not make me aware of who disrespects my efforts?
You have not arrived to that kind of consciousness yet,
To recognize a depth is connected to this process...
That quickly rejects stupidity immediately.
Mine to do temporarily. Even yours. All kinds.
And with a doing that is absent of regrets.
None!
