Giving Up On Stacking Burdens Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Finding 'self' to happen,
Is seldom mentioned...
By the one experiencing life to live.

And finding 'self' takes self examination.
With a staying unafraid to admit,
Made mistakes.
And this takes...

Giving up on false impressions.
And,
Giving up on what is faked.
And,
Giving up on stacking burdens...
On shoulders felt about to break.

Finding 'self' to happen,
Is seldom mentioned...
By the one experiencing life to live.

And finding 'self' takes self examination.
With a staying unafraid to admit,
Made mistakes.
And this takes...

Giving up on false impressions.
To do it,
Giving up on what is faked.
And to do it,
Giving up on stacking burdens.
With a doing it,
On shoulders felt to break.
Eliminate,
Giving up on false impressions.
Eliminate,
Giving up on what is faked.
Eliminate,
Getting rid of all those burdens.
To do it,
On shoulders 'bout to break.
Then it's possible one can escape...
From a rat race that has them chased.
