No, he shook his head, starting to get angry. He couldn't let Poe draw that comparison. "That's war. They knew the stakes. You can't blame yourself for it. It can't be the same.
"But whatever mistakes we've made, you've learned from yours. What makes you think I'm strong enough not to go back? I feel it. It's already there- I'm already there."
A part of him knew what Poe was saying. That choosing a side was a choice, and Finn didn't have to make the same choices as before. Mistakes happen, and you have to move on. Finn thought he had moved on. This ability turning up just made those mistakes seem permanent, though, that there was no crawling out of the dark side for him.
In short, he was being stubborn and stupid and a lot like he had been before. Just making excuses.
