Keep It Loved
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Keep it loved,
Your life.
Regardless of your circumstances.
Or kept duped beliefs.
You have come to realize were false.
And purposely deceived.
You were not born,
To be taught that to teach.
It has always been you to discover reality.
As is to be...
To explore the difference made.
Between truth and the fiction to delude,
Reality.
Keep it loved.
Your life.
Since personal discoveries,
Are often bitter and seldom sweet.
And the knowing of this,
Will have you feeling upset.
Left stressed into a deep depression.
Leaving you weak, confused.
Mentally.
Know the mess that is to seem self defeating.
Or not yours alone to condone by yourself.
Know the mess that is to seem there to stay.
Will be that way.
If you do not wake up.
Observe and witness without delay.
To understand.
And make it clearly understood to no one,
But you.
That the mess that has been made,
You may had not known the depth of it.
Nor did you originate it to create.
Keep it loved.
Your life.
And never regret stepping away.
To know your happiness to deserve,
Belongs to you.
Without guilt or regret to feel.
Keep it loved.
Your life.
Not to look back at mistakes made.
But move on to know,
Feeling to be a fool may be difficult to admit.
However...
Getting over it,
Takes forgiving yourself for being one!
Keep your life loved.
To know life to live it,
Has its ups and downs.
But to turn your frown into smile,
Is up to you.
And no one else to teach how that is done!
Your life is to be loved.
To remain that way to stay if you wish.
And want it bad enough to move on!
You can.
You will.
You must.
Trust yourself more!
You can.
You will.
Knowing this to do for yourself is a must!
