Looking For Answers Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

'What are you doing?
You seem as if,
Something you are searching for...
Has been discovered misplaced.
And you have found it missed.'

I'm looking for answers.
They have got to be around here,
Somewhere.

'Have you tried going back inside,
With a sitting done to ask yourself this:
Why...
Am I not able to find those answers,
Within myself.
And why do I keep truth,
A pusuit I keep deluded.'

~Look, SHERLOCK....
I know enough about truth,
Not to ask myself questions about it.
Whatever I have going on 'inside',
Is none of your business.
So...
Step aside.
And save your time wasting ideas,
On someone else willing to hear...
Advice or suggestions,
They may need with your assistance.
I don't.~

'You know...
Even a smooth pond,
Reflecting a stable image today...
Can be witnessed to ripple,
On other days.
With a doing the same thing,
To a perceived image perceived as stable.'

~You do a lot of 'personal' reasoning,
Don't you? ~

'Yes.
How can you tell? '

~Has anyone ever told you,
Looking for ways not to share that with others...
Especially in public,
Would be more beneficial to you...
If you decide to do more of it kept 'inside'.~
