To learn from my mistakes I must...
Pretty much anything goes. Go as in-depth with your mistakes as you would like, but don't be afraid to be figurative when necessary. Poem does not, of course, need to have the exact title in the work.

Mistakes

to learn from my mistakes

I must endure

the pain

the torment

the scars

I must take

the pain

the torment

the scars

and build armor from it

I must use the armor

make it

my protection

my reminder

my fortress

so that I may be able

to grow

to learn

to thrive

as I go forward

to learn from my mistakes

I must use my struggles

to make me

smarter

stronger

better
