Notes About The Poem

Time For a Showdown

Time for a showdown with my ruptured soul,
because I have come to the breaking point;
no more-  the sad past has taken a toll,
I will end fear and express my viewpoint.
Time for a showdown and confrontation,
living in the dead past is not living;
to stay this way will be my damnation,
I accept life can be unforgiving.
Time for a showdown and decisive fight,
from this day I lock away my deep grief;
I will look to the future with delight,
go away sorrow that comes like a thief.
Time for a showdown with my battered heart,
new paths are unfolding so past-  DEPART.

Reason A. Poteet March 6, 2018 at 9:19 PM I love the positive note t'wards the end of your sonnet here. I likened your first few verses to the pain and irritability of a herniated disk which my son is experiencing of late.
