Getting Done To Do Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Not afraid at all.
To know what it is I want.
With efforts to endeavor them made.
Stumbling to get up from a fall.
I have regarded as part of the experience.
Since my expectations are not wished.
I have known disappointments.
Rejection.
And the wiping away tears.
But passion to have,
Got me up off my aspirations.
To take no time implementing them made.
And the more I faced naysayers and obstacles,
I knew the steps I took to take...
Were placed in the right direction.
It seems negativity,
Is always in search for companions.
Wishing to demean and belittle.
Especially those motivated and determined,
To talk the talk and walk in faith.
With a doing to prove,
A getting done to do is what they mean.
