Found From the Lost

in the mistakes lie your answers

 

what makes you swim is the pressure

 

eventually getting lost

will be the only way to find yourself

 

 these new answers

 they are just corrected mistakes

 

moving on from the lost

all into the new found

 

here lies a secret to moving on

demand of your mistakes some f*****g answers

[Stu. T.H.]

What a charismatic play on words, with meanings in-and-out demonstrating a desire for an expedition scavaging for knowledge and wisdom while hightlighting the idea that life is only made perfect and ideal upon being taken and led by us. Of course, the lyrical dynamic of the word scheme is one of the greatest charms of the poem. Thank you for sharing your work, author Davidgeo, have a nice day.

[Davidgeo]

I think you described this better than it was written.

[Stu. T.H.]

But the charm in the manner in which the poem was written deserved its rightful credit.

[Amy R]

This piece carries such TRUTH,
"eventually getting lost
will be the only way to find yourself"

keep writing dear poet.

Truer words spoken. Experience can be our greatest teacher if one's willing to learn. In the mistake lies our answers. Here in lies the secret to moving on. Demand of your mistakes, some f*****g answers. I shall take your words and advice to heart.

[Davidgeo]

You will at the very least be a slightly better version of yourself tomorrow taking that advice today. Probably. Thanks for the high five, I'm glad you liked it!

[alexAlexander]

Yes, thank you for your advice. I shall take it to heart.

Mistakes and defeats are not total losses if within them you can see the way forward.

[Poetic Beauty]

Sometimes getting answers helps and sometimes it doesn’t.

It's never good to ruminate on things but I think it's important to confront yourself and your memories if where you are at does not feel like where you should be. Because more often than not, we are the author of our own misery by way of not learning from our mistakes. It is painful though, sometimes self loathing can take hold... it's not a good thing.
