"Push" A Poem By Joey LaPiana

Submitted 7 years ago

The alarm clock is buzzing,
It's another early morning,
You have to grind baby,
Get up,
You don't reach those goals laying in bed,
Dreams don't happen during slumber,
You've got to push,
You've got to get up with a purpose and push forward,
This is day number one of the rest of your life,
Five A.M. is not for everybody,
But you're not like everybody,
Yeah, your eyes are groggy, SO WHAT,
Yeah, your body aches, SO WHAT,
Yeah, it's cold outside, SO WHAT,
Yeah, they're saying you can't do this, SO WHAT,
Those are excuses,
Your greatness will not be built off of excuses,
Your triumphs and victories are forged from every breath,
Every day,
Every inch,
Ordinary, you can have that,
Mediocre, that's not for me,
Average, average is not in your DNA,
They only see the pay off,
The calloused hands, they don't see that,
The hours and hours in the gym, they don't see that,
The worn sneakers, they don't see that,
When you push, they don't see that,
When they sit on the couch,
You push,
When they hit the snooze button,
You push,
When they're out partying,
You push,
When they're making excuses,
You push,
Your grind is the blueprint,
Weary warrior,
Knuckle down,
Hammer away,
Commit,
Scrap,
Overcome,
March on,
Push ahead,
Dominate,
Conquer,
Push
