Second Look

sometimes it turns around
wanna take a second look
slowing down this time
jotting thoughts in a notebook

studying the angles
trying to make a plan
doing the equation
start back where you began

erasing the mistakes
using all you learned
knowledge gives you power
to once again return

sometimes it turns around
and you take a second look
mysteries uncovered
when you reread the book
