NEW POEM - "Pressing Push" (Press & Push) - Part Two

Hey Everybody-

Thank you for stopping by. FINALLY...here is the sequel to Pressing Push (Press & Push). Even though it took a while to post this, I think the right words came to the forefront. I got a couple of positive words about Part One, so I hope that this one does as well, if not better, at meeting your expectations.

On a side note, I am still putting together a SPECIAL project that I hope to have completed before the end of the month. The promotion that I spoke of will be tied to it, so be ready for it when it finally comes to pass.

As usual, tell me what you think of this one - good, bad, or otherwise. And please spread the word and this site to any and everyone you know. Thanks for stopping by. Peace!

Pressing Push (Press & Push) - Part Two

The press and push is getting more real

Going past fatigue that more and more feel

This isn't to say that I don't get tired

Or I'm running on no-doze, wired

If I said this, I'd be a liar

I'm just saying-

That I press past how I feel

Never an easy checkmark on the to-do list

Still, I know I must do this

No cares if you try to disprove this

This is simply how I deal

Moving 'til I start to huff and puff

Like a legend says, don't stop 'til you get...

Well, you know what's up

Let the real recognize the real

Especially when it comes to success

Having to endure pain before knowing how pleasure feels

People trying to deal for only the good

Not accepting the opposition of the bad and ugly

It's sad, but it must be

Taking the rainy days of this life

Pressing and pushing to days all sunny

Going past the euphoria of won money

To a permanent paradise

Only seen by optimal and persistent eyes

Pressed and pushed past the limits seen by eyes

So I press and push and so on

Just off of hope I have so much to go on

Not to mention yet-to-be-fulfilled dreams

Awake or sleep, it seems tangible

Almost more real than my reality seems

Or actually is

And after the vision

Post-daydreams and after the endless wishing

I realize that I can't get there from here

Stuck in position

Have a pace to pick up

Shifting gears in my life's transmission

Really, I'm past the wishing

Reviewing my life's blueprint

Developed as I continue and press on

Challenges of this life, less of a nuisance

Taking each experience as a less-on

Shaking off the negatives

Refined the remaining positives

Pressing and pushing harder than I ever did

Letting my life serve as evidence
