A poem that flows smoothly of the tongue through effective /pertinent end sentence word choice with each stanza that tells of the one's own personal battles with life and the failures that come along that journey punching and kicking the subject thus impinging to the wearysome payload, concluding with some positivity as one reconciles with self, gotta learn from our mistakes/setbacks and grow wiser with each new step!
( Ps .. Just a suggestion, 3rd stanza, last word 'sore' ... I insert discord instead, rhymes better with ' ignored' and ties in more appropriately with the whole stanza 's meaning I reckon, eg.. ' The cost of my folly
fills me with discord '

I appreciate your insights on the poem's flow and message about personal battles. I love your suggestion for the third stanza! "Discord" does fit the theme well and enhances the rhyme. I’ll definitely consider making that change. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts!
'This pain is my teacher, a fire in my chest,
Each bruise and each scar, a lesson to learn.
Can I rise from the ashes, reclaim what is best?
For only in falling do I truly return.'
An example of how to create poetry with content that teaches 'how to' - yet, , uses very fine meter.
Start to finish your emotions speak out whilst the literary style walks at their side. Kudos, Elnnes Scholtz.

I’m glad you resonated with the poem and its themes of growth through pain. I appreciate your recognition of the meter and how the emotions intertwine with the literary style. Your support truly encourages me to keep exploring these ideas in my writing!
wow such strong words, in just one poem,
you've captured every emotions very well with easy flow of rhymes and rhythm
we all have made errors and experience failure whether great or small,
the past doesnt determine the future its the present.

It’s so true that our past doesn’t define us, and I appreciate your recognition of that theme. Your feedback means a lot to me!
I really like the line "Each crack holds a story, a dance with despair, why do I circle the same weary path?", I felt this, like returning to the same moment at a different time in life, repeating the same mistakes. Good poem.

This poem is a very powerfully penned poem. It tells of personal battles with life and the events which occur on the journey. I myself don't believe in mistakes, for me they don't exist. Everything is an experience, without the experience we would never grow emotionally, physically, psychologically
or spiritually. There are those who believe in mistakes who say "Without making a mistake, you will never make anything!" I've heard it so many times down through the years.
It is through our experiences that we learn and through learning we grow and hopefully, with wisdom to help us along the way. Keep up the fight, dear poetess. Never give it up!
I love how the poem flows so effortlessly down the page, is excellently expressed and eloquently inked. I love the title of the poem. Hopefully, today will not echo tomorrow!!! I enjoyed reading very much and thank you for sharing...
