Hold Me; Or We Sink Together Poem by DOMINIC PREMPEH

You can push me down, and walk over me to the top
Or pull me back, and overtake me to the crest
You never know, or have forgotten, we are one; yes we are
I find myself in you; and you in me.

I am the embodiment of your soul; just as you are
And the parade of your aim; the same way you too do
I represent your agenda; I have the same destination as u
And part and parcel we are

Push me hard if you are beneath; and I will pull you a-top
Pull me strong if you are above; so all of us go together
Let’s join to succeed; for your finishing without me is vain
Hold me tight; or we sink together.
