Push (a poem)
Deep Breaths
Heart Beats
sometimes
we succeed
sometimes
we fail
either way
at least we tried
at least we gave
everything
at least we put up
a good fight
put up with the pain
the suffering
and sacrificed
everything we had
at least no one can say
we didn't try
no one can say
we couldn't deal
with the pain
it might be hard
at first
but then we learn
to deal with it
to make it work
to succeed
maybe not in a traditional sense
but succeed nonetheless
to wake up and Realize
what we've been Striding toward
has been behind us
the whole time
to Realize
we can do more
than succeed
we can excel
once we excel
the work
isn't work anymore
it's just the icing on the cake
the moment
that takes your breath away
when you discover
it was all worth it
when you look back
and Realize
what you've done
you Realize
the only thing holding you back
was yourself
you Realize
all you needed to do
was Push
