Eager to push her buttons
Denise kept asking her mommy why
Giving her mommy the gift of a headache and a short-fused temper
Eventually, after fifteen more whys, the temper exploded

Looking for that little bit more
I push the pace past what was comfortable into the red zone
Making me breathe harder, faster
It rips a growl from my soul as hit that wall
T
hen I break through that ceiling. On to that next level.
Reach down deep and push it to eleven
As you speed forward toward the finish line
Carving out your niche in history
Expect your victory parade
Push your body past its self-imposed limits
And suffer the wrath of muscle, bone, and sinew
It can be mitigated by medication, but
Nothing will change what you feel, both short term and long, except for time.
People milled around the in-ground pool enjoying their cocktails
Until two voices dominated the soundscape with their disagreement
Suddenly silence crashed into existence
However the splashing soon followed
Push yourself all the way up to the summit.
Enjoy the view from being on top of the world
And in that moment, realize that all the work was worth it
Keep that high in your heart no matter how low you find yourself later on.
So you know you can do that climb again. You have proof.

It is all about you, trust us
Now get to work and push through the pain
Don’t you know when we do well you do well
Until there is a downturn
Still, don’t worry about that. We will always be successful
That’s why we need you to work so hard
Really, get back to work, we have your back
Your severance package will be exciting

People are always looking for an angle, an easy way in or out
Undermining their altruistic public face
So sick of false narratives that sell whitewashed souls
Hey maybe it’s time to shove back

Imagination unleashed upon the universe
Never accepting preexisting boundaries
Seeking to push into the forever
Perceptions shift on the sands of time
Redefining new realities
Enabling us to lurch forward
Determining an undetermined future
