Brace the floorboards

Brace the floorboards

A Poem by Adam Lain
"

Life will rock you, oh baby it will.

"
Hold on to life, for it shakes with aggression.
Never appease the system, for it will always test you. 
Always, I relied on the moment, for the next was a different second.
Never depended on destiny, for that was but a fantasy.
Now brace for the drop! For that s**t will rumble.
Walk with your head high, gazing up for when you stumble.
If your gonna rock the boat, focus on one side and bring the weight.
If life was easy, there would be no use for pain.
These days, they bring hurricanes, and rip at the winds,
so if you don't embrace this moment, it'll pull up from underneath your skin.

I liked it. Talks in a candid, straight forward way of living in the moment with focussed thoughts and energy. Well written.

Good wisdom in this poem. I like the format and the emotion brought out by powerful and strong words. Life is to be lived. I agree. Thank you for a excellent poem.
