One more push

The brown leaves that I crush every day, 

Beneath the bike wheels I roll, 

The point of journey, uphill that I dread, 

Every day makes me think-"Just one more pedal to complete, 

Then I'm downhill again";

Long, deep breath, almost drained with sweat,

I push myself for the last time, 

I realize its just one more cycle to go through, 

The breeze that whispers across my ears,

Tells me to stop,

And rather walk, 

I go deaf to all the voices that I hear, 

Despite the tribulations, the fatigue running down my legs, 

I muster all the courage, 

To climb up the hill every day;

Hurray! my inner self proclaims each time, 

The moment my bike rolls itself again. 

My daddy told me life ain't easy when I was a kid, 

I looked at my life then, and thought why not? 

I confess it was easy then, 

Until I bumped into the real world, 

I recall the moment I almost gave up, 

My daddy said just one more push, 

One more time that you ought to kick, 

Now I think I was being stupid-giving up,

How I wish I had my bike then, 

To remind me to pedal once again.
