Hello @monajam !
For me determination means keeping a straight focus on something. And yes, almost nothing really can take my attention out of it, when I am determined to do something. Great poetry!
I am now determined to learn some verbs from this poem, which are:
to circumvent (to bypass) and to hinder (to limit)
Well-said @johnstone
When you are determined, you can achieve anything! even your physical limitations cannot stop you from doing so.
