I love this poem that you emphasize about life experience. The line "Failure is a bruise not a tatoo" captured my mind because I second that idea. Failure is just a bruise because we can still fix it and transcend into someone who is more appreciative, grateful, and brave. It's just part of growing up and learning! Your poem is amazing @typebox!
Thank you for stopping by and I'm glad you could relate with this piece . One just has to be resilient in the face of adversaries to make a lasting headway in life ultimately.
