Push Yourself Some More
When the going gets tough, you ought to become tougher
After miles of climbing
the formidable terrain.
Every nerve of the body
stretched to the utmost.
The summit still eluding sight.
So gather the tattered bits
of your spirit and gear up
to embark once again.
Fuelled by the cherished vision
of the pinnacle that you know
will wash away all suffering instantly.
The exhilaration of reaching there
will be worth all your strife.
Push yourself some more,
a little bit more.
The problem assigned at work,
is way too complex and big.
It's driving the horses of your mind crazy
as you are pushing them too hard this time.
The thought of giving up
often crosses your mind.
But the sheer thrill and challenge
keeps you going each step further.
Somewhere deep inside you wish
to taste the elixir of success.
Even though the bosses are ignorant
of the complexity that's keeping you sleepless.
Continue with the effort and trials,
knowing the pat you receive from yourself
is all that matters in the end.
Push yourself some more,
a little bit more.
Sometimes each day is a test of time.
Each tick of the clock adds an unseen challenge.
Health, finances, relations,
everything goes for a toss.
You just stick to the bare essentials
like one does when a tsunami strikes.
Taking care of the food and the kids
becomes the sole priority.
You know you're operating in emergency mode,
stretched out to the ultimate.
Yet there seems to be no light
in the deep, endless tunnel.
With trust in divine intent,
keep going one day at a time.
Hoping it will pass soon,
wishing for a better tomorrow.
Push yourself some more,
a little bit more.
