Don'T Be The One Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Don't be the one,
To begin those thoughts...
Of doubts that crop up,
Begun by others wishing to have...
Your happiness to end with it stopped.
To have you believe enough is enough.

Don't be the one,
To rely on those who gossip...
About someone who cares for you,
But from them you hear...
Another point of view you use to accuse,
To find what you wanted has gone.

Don't be the one,
To share with someone loved your foolishness...
With discovering your stupidness not forgiven.
Don't be the one,
Seeking to get your world rocked better.
Only to regret tears wept,
With sleep at night you no longer get.
To find what you wanted has gone.

Don't be the one,
To find what you wanted has got up and gone...
Behind lies that had you deceived,
To find what you wanted has gone to leave.
Don't be the one to run,
After someone you had wronged.

Don't be the one,
To share with someone loved your foolishness...
With discovering your stupidness not forgiven.
To find what you wanted has gone,
And for good like they should.
Don't be the one to run,
After someone you had wronged.
