Erased As Witnessed

A quest to rise above opposition...
Is done and stuns.
A soaring began,
Begun when no one expected.
A mind exploring,
Does not reveal its contents...
When in the process of nourishing,
Its intentions.

There is no need to mention it.
Challenges given are internally sent.
Definitions aren't exclaimed.
When one remains the captive.

Each step forward,
Is an indication...
Something has been sacrificed.
Something has assisted this flight!
There is no questioning that a faith and insight...
Reaches heights.
And breaks through broken doors.
Purposedly closed to prevent!

But time with a mind focused,
Endures.
Even with wings clipped...
There is no stopping a determination
to proceed.
And succeed...
One who dreams and believes,
Does!

With or without,
Carefully placed obstacles faced!
To be erased as witnessed.
