Shove (Brandy Goodman Poem # 6)

Strong people stumble with emotions

Even the mighty can be weak

Fight for your life

Now’s not the time to be meek.

Do not sit idly by

Letting yourself turn to ice.

While life goes on around you,

It’s not worth the price.

Take a deep breath

Find something you love

Hold on for dear life

And give yourself a shove.

In life there will be pain,

Fear and doubt, depression and guilt galore

But we must push through

Because there can be so much more.

You can have happiness and joy

There will be times of hope and awe

Don’t let negative emotions

Leave you wounded and raw.

Fight for your life

Fight for what you love

Fight to be happy

Just give yourself that shove.
