Analysis of Never Pleased To Satisfy
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Never are we pleased to satisfy.
Even if to live our lives,
To have it done to live...
As many ways as possible.
We wish to want,
To be thought as special people.
Without the showing to display a selfishness.
Or disrespect towards others to expect,
Them to treat us...
As if deserving red carpet steppers.
We wish to want the best for ourselves.
As long as the doing is perceived to believe,
Someone else is made...
Envious and jealous.
To make ourselves feel better,
Than who we are when lieing to deceive.
Done to then deny our misdeeds.
Never are we pleased to satisfy.
And try we do in a variety of ways,
To achieve and accomplish...
That status grabbing attention to get.
With a doing to sit and name drop.
In a nonstopping obnoxious pretentiousness.
Representing to present insecurities,
Detected immediately to witness...
A childishness kept nourished to keep.
