In that quiet corner where doubt takes shelter,154Please respect copyright.PENANA8Gxdhu6iSJ
Fear lingers—unbidden, unwelcome.154Please respect copyright.PENANAQDc3rxOcjc
It murmurs in the recesses of the mind,154Please respect copyright.PENANAOjEqsnqVXH
A chorus of imagined verdicts, cruel and premature.
Time, that merciless mirror, enlarges each flaw,154Please respect copyright.PENANAEDpHrFz1mr
Every misstep replayed in merciless clarity.154Please respect copyright.PENANA2ARX1kQxtP
But here lies a truth so often overlooked:154Please respect copyright.PENANA9DNff3iA9F
Even the fall teaches, if one dares to see.
What we call failure is seldom the end—154Please respect copyright.PENANA2dn7Ei3jre
More often, it is a turning, a redirection.154Please respect copyright.PENANAoGSldjiIKH
Growth, after all, is not without bruises;154Please respect copyright.PENANAOkIVRnRtL3
The soil of progress is tilled by imperfection.
So if you should find yourself adrift,154Please respect copyright.PENANAmw6nshLYSN
Measure not the distance from the shore,154Please respect copyright.PENANAUB9qe6hFL6
But the courage it takes to stay afloat—154Please respect copyright.PENANAw3x6xveZ5J
To keep rowing when the map is no more.
Let your missteps speak, not of shame, but of becoming.154Please respect copyright.PENANAHhelvYcMJF
Let each scar be footnoted with wisdom hard-won.154Please respect copyright.PENANA6Se0XvmVEW
We are all unfinished stories,154Please respect copyright.PENANAOsP44hMOXc
And in some chapters, failure is simply foresight.
