Living To Grow
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Living to grow up.
Is a painful thing for many to do.
And...
From birth to adulthood
Many grow older.
To refuse what adults,
Should and are expected...
The process of blooming.
And...
Heard to excuse,
Being accountable for actions.
Or...
Taking responsibility.
Either not taught to teach...
By those who have been equally,
Living in denial.
To fiction truth preferring delusion!
