Uncompromised Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

A lesson learned makes one grow.
What looks easy to accomplish,
Doesn't make it so.

What becomes one's 'thing'...
To make it come to life.
Does not happen just with thought.
Or reveals itself overnight.

To conquer over fear,
One must come to face it.
Insecurities are chased...
Until they are embraced.

Criticizing the unknown.
Or make attempts to diminish,
What someone finishes that eventually is shown...
Proves that sacrifice and discipline,
With steadfast devotion has grown!

A lesson learned makes one grow.
What looks easy to accomplish,
Doesn't make it so.
Only those in the know,
Show themselves to be uncompromised.
And in time considered to be wise.
