failure, mistakes
regular bedfellows
depression, anxiety
constant companions
silence at night
contemplative, reflective
mirror's image
reminds, accuses
silence at morning
the retry, the restart
dawn's light
the redo, redemption

I like this one lots.. I relate to a degree.. there is your redemption theme again… may we all find it!! ☺️👏
Another powerful one. Sheesh, you're on a roll, friend! "the retry, the restart dawn's light the redo, redemption" GORGEOUS!
A new day. This is inspirational.
We need to be friends with benefits with mistakes and failures rather than just bedfellows. We need to use them to learn and do better. I think it's called orgasmic success. Such a Paulitical poem!
Been there...you captured it!
rinse and repeat, you have captured the essence of that feeling I reckon!
Only to repeat itself once again by nightfall. And then again in the morning.
This is quietly powerful... "failure, mistakes... regular bedfellows depression, anxiety... constant companions." A good night's sleep is such a blessing... when you final lines come swiftly: 'dawn's light... the redo, redemption." Love it.
great poem
This somewhat reminds me of two words per stanza poems. Poems feel more lenient on how to image, emotion, and theme out in fewer words. Great job!
