Confronting Poems - Poems about Confronting

Written: September 2nd, 2023 ______________________________________________________________ In the depths of one's mind, foes reside. Within oneself—a war cannot be denied. Refers to individuals—their internal strife, Struggles and spurs that shape their life. In the realm of views and desires so deep, Fear and doubt bestir—akin to demon creep. Inner blows waged in the darkest nights. People tilt with doubts—their inner fights. Self-fuss, the first foe fated...

How I longed for and every morn, For a decadent slice of cake, At beginning of every dawn, Was hooked, my heart did often ache. Not fussy, fairy cake or bun, To be sweet, I was for sure born, Rain, snow, mist, hail or scorching sun, How I longed for and every morn. Traveled cities so far and wide, At seven sharp did often...

My destiny, fiercely, I confronted the other day, Complaining about the many obstacles She has placed on my path, Plus For all the calamities and pains That she has so, mercilessly, inflicted Upon me.

Confronting obstacles is building up the courage, don't believe the skeptical coward who pulls back and says, " It's useless to fight, be smarter than a liar! " I reflect on this and continue to observe the knowledge which nurtured the minds of bold knights more than a friar who wrote down their victorious battles in a parched book decorated with...

I see you coming, old age Approaching, at an ever-accelerating pace, Your face is so grim Your expression is so austere Your look so menacing, A frightening sight you are Many battles I have fought in life With vigor and youth at my side Thus victorious I emerged But Now that my allies slowly abandon me One after the other, I am left alone in the...

There was no day when he was asked That he felt pride, away, outside A tree stood, a bird chirped, the wind howled He meekly stood, anxiety masked Outside a dog growled His eyes were turned inside, but captured That bird so bright Its frame so slight Sunlight danced sadly round his bouncing hair He bowed slightly for his captor And met his icy stare *** Here is...

My biggest challenge of my life occurred in 1998 a year of strife, routine mammography displayed a buckshot spray of calcification which displayed a lot of cancer within its maudlin picture show, removal of my right breast proved to be a torturous blow.

Brazen you are, how far is your awareness. In truth you couldn't care less. Things were said things were done, things were even flung in rage. Leaving a bitter taste in your mouth drawn from such haste. A plea was made yet on deaf ears it falls, it's never your fault. As usual you rush away, never confronting your flaws....

My soul in me to anger stirs, and I Like a panther that cannot prowl my home Pushed back from the forest invaded, to die Edged by concrete; attacked if dare I roam My own God-given habitat, shall then I become another victim vile when My claws unsheathed, spring unflawed the air And revenge reeks its angry havoc here? You do not know...
