Persistent Consistency Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

A persistent consistency...
With detemination to excell,
Generates a motivation...
From inside one where it dwells.

Seeking an acceptance,
For that which one loves to create...
Will never satisfy an ego that tries,
To enforce upon others...
An appreciation shown that escalates.

One attempting to do this,
Is not connected mentally...
To the gifts they have.
Or feel blessed to nourish,
As time passes on from their grasp.

Many seek results and success,
Quickly delivered.
Without a discipline applied.
Or a sacrificing done of a social life.

A persistent consistency...
With detemination to excell,
Generates a motivation...
From inside one where it dwells.

And does not derive,
From an outside source for a thriving to arrive.
Some nights may be substituted,
For a sleeplessness...
Ambitions seduce to produce.
