Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

With a stumbling numbed,
And...
Going through the paces.
So many people on the run,
...

If it takes one key,
To open one door...
With opportunities awaiting,
On the other side of it.
...

Living one's life,
On incredible big lies to tell...
Eventually comes to shred every bit,
Of one's credibility sold to sell too well.
...

Don't be afraid,
To make mistakes and move on.
Admit them to be made
And that you were wrong.
...

Never has it ever paid,
To exaggerate what takes place...
In someone's life to incite an invitation,
To spread indignities and lies.
...

Seriously?
You want something to talk about?
This may be painful...
However,
...

Freedom imitated,
Can never be a freedom...
Manifested to appreciate.
It would be underrated sooner or later.
...

Do not release from you the need,
To uncover opportunity.
That which is within your reach.
Seek that life you wish to live!
...

You have not yet learned to survive.
I've heard you make excuses for it.
As you sit in the comfort of your parents' home.
Who provide amenities,
...

The uninvited presence,
Of the new normal amongst us...
May be protested by those against it.
And those accustomed to challenging change,
...
