Noticed Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I know you would love to find me wrong.
And I would just love to find you...
Expressing an opinion,
That had a conviction you felt strong enough
To believe!

Instead of finding someone to hide behind...
To encourage them to despise,
And look down upon me!
I am not that foolishly convinced,
Of your intentions!

But then again...
You represent so many,
Who character assassinate...
As a means to live a low life,
With incentives to increase a self esteem.
I have witnessed that too often.

You're the kind to deceive another,
Who hopelessly believes...
A projected motivation...
Feeds all of your needs!
And I have noticed you too long...
Not to know this,
As I notice.
