Attitudes
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
I'm not without,
A lack of having patience.
Nor do I doubt,
Chances known to take them.
I'm one who moves,
In one direction.
Or do I hesitate decisions that I make.
I don't debate,
With others indecisive.
Nor do I fake,
To be someone to like.
I've always been,
Who I am to be.
Proud of who I am.
And my Ancestry.
I was not fed,
From a silver spoon.
And when I go to bed,
I have dreams to want come true.
I will admit,
At times I'm moody too.
But I am no one different,
Than many who have attitudes.
But mine,
To have...
I don't excuse!
