Exceptional Are The Heights Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

From where those first steps,
Seemed from a low self esteem...
Too impossible to face the fears,
A moving to do it has proven successful.
Even though the stopping of obstacles,
To completely eliminate...
Come unexpectedly with no escape.
And no longer is an escape one seeks.

Exceptional are the heights,
From where those first steps...
Seemed too impossible to take.
Exceptional becomes the view to be seen,
When those dreams wished...
Are within one's reach.
With the knowing that obstacles are not impossible,
To remove when faced to do with kept desire.

Exceptional are the heights to view,
When one refuses to fear teachings taught to limit...
One's self esteem not meant to be kept in pits,
Low in the comfort of confined darkness.
