Reminisced To Miss Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The one thing always reminisced to miss,
Is the directness of someone's true friendship.
And it is not appreciated until it is compared,
To the nonsense shared in some environments...
In which 'personalities' express no depth,
And become offended easily...
When reality addressed upsets those pretentious.

'You know what I miss as I grow older? '

~What's that? ~

'People unafraid to be themselves.'

~Gee!
Just how old are you? ~

But today?
So many have pretended to be other people,
Reality for them has become a nightmare.
And avoiding it to experience at any cost,
Has left many caught up in keeping their delusions...
Protected to believe,
Others they meet are also making false appearances.'

~My goodness.
You must be real old.
Especially if you can remember 'reality'.
AND be able to reminisce to miss it too? ~
