Kanye Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Driven to succeed...
To appease the teasing,
Of an expedited climb to new heights!
Increased by the sight,
Of delighted fans...
One wishes to command,
Under spotlight!

But when that spotlight dims,
And goes out at night.
One is alone,
Wishing for that touch...
Nurtured by love shown.
From that special someone,
Who knows what love is!
The one overshadowed...
By the pressures of showbiz.

It is what it is!
This feeling one has known.
We must allow God,
To perform this healing offstage.
And Kanye...
With God's guidance,
Will mend in time...
On his own!


Dedicated To:
Kanye West

'My thoughts are with you, Kanye.
Decisions made by others we love,
Sometimes brings us heartbreak!
Remember you are loved.'

Lawrence
