Facts I'Ve Learned To Face Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Those expectations I have for myself,
Has yet to require
A solicitation of assistance.

Although I do feel I owe you the respect,
Of perceiving my abilities
In need of direction.

Trust me
I am not seeking that kind of guidance.
Perhaps one day I will more receptive.

It is enough for me,
Just to complete what it is that I do.
And the discovery of that,
Has kept my focus on track.

I had been one distracted,
By too many delusions carried on my back.
But not today.
Not with the facts I've learned to face.
And the facing of those facts
Has kept me on track.
