With Nothing Changed Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Those refusing to remove from their minds,
That which had been experienced in the past...
To accept with a moving on,
With a dawn each day that appears...
To give twenty four hours before it's gone,
Are the ones who find themselves...
Dwindling away in pity pits of negativity.

While seeking confirmation of a life lived with wishes,
More people would share with them a dismissing of reality.
As they offer in conversation to anyone willing to listen,
The same opinions and complaints they then' had,
With nothing changed to erase their aches and pains.
Or exposing a desire they've retained something positive,
To provide someone else encouragement to promote.
