Needs! Not 'Knees' Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Needs! Not 'Knees'



You act as if,
You are not sensitive at all
To the 'needs' of others

'What?
What are you talking about?
When I was down on mine,
It took everything I had to get up off them.

I struggled for years too.
And when I eventually stood on my own two feet,
I vowed I would never allow myself...
To get in that position,
Ever again.
Not if I can help it.
People ignored me.
As if I did not exist.
As if they had no feeling towards me at all.
I've learned many lessons since then.

NEEDS!
Not KNEES.

'No
My knees are not knocked.
But I remember as a kid,
I use to be pigeon toed.
But I can say
Today?
I am not sensitive to that at all.
I've learned that the 'knees' of others,
Are not my business
Why would you bring something like that up? '

Forget it
'Forgotten.'
