Analysis of Loss Of Consciousness
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
The best ways these days,
To identify if your consciousness stays.
Kept to remain as healthy as possible?
Is the knowing to feel...
Offended, insulted and disrespected.
When anyone,
Intentionally steps on your toes.
However...
If this is done.
And you discover yourself,
Requesting it to do again and again.
As if the sensation begins to turn you on.
Curling those toes with a thrill?
Something is wrong.
That does not belong.
Although kept to stay in your mind,
You have been made convinced...
This act to do to you purposely,
Is a sign of affection.
Proving not only a loss of consciousness.
But also a desperate need for attention to get.
And in these confusing,
Publicly displaying of craze days.
Many are out to seek,
Pain.
A pain some commit to permit,
In their relationships!
With a feeling,
To be needed, wanted and loved!
