Third Round

I have dusted my gloves 
in readiness for the third round 
I got knocked out once
but I rose each and fought again 

I'll watch myself walk 
down the familiar road 
with my heart pounding in 
similar uncanny rhythm

I'll be alone listening 
to the voices in my head 
tell me there might be something 
amiss, or something good 
I know I'll do a good job ignoring 
the negative 

I want to make amends 
although I know I am not 
supposed to 
there is nothing to prove 
except test my resolve once again  
and prepare for heartbreak 
once more
