In that quiet corner where doubt takes shelter,182Please respect copyright.PENANAw3arHANGY7
Fear lingers—unbidden, unwelcome.182Please respect copyright.PENANAjjOY0zbDVu
It murmurs in the recesses of the mind,182Please respect copyright.PENANAjzsc387Z8R
A chorus of imagined verdicts, cruel and premature.
Time, that merciless mirror, enlarges each flaw,182Please respect copyright.PENANARAj2bOkOja
Every misstep replayed in merciless clarity.182Please respect copyright.PENANAxgI4usmQ16
But here lies a truth so often overlooked:182Please respect copyright.PENANAsygrLRc5OG
Even the fall teaches, if one dares to see.
What we call failure is seldom the end—182Please respect copyright.PENANArJWRCykVqC
More often, it is a turning, a redirection.182Please respect copyright.PENANAepjUQOqbs8
Growth, after all, is not without bruises;182Please respect copyright.PENANAWWOx4fKHkQ
The soil of progress is tilled by imperfection.
So if you should find yourself adrift,182Please respect copyright.PENANAz10lCN02Yi
Measure not the distance from the shore,182Please respect copyright.PENANAjUQVvyucir
But the courage it takes to stay afloat—182Please respect copyright.PENANAFLZNqko9lB
To keep rowing when the map is no more.
Let your missteps speak, not of shame, but of becoming.182Please respect copyright.PENANAyMuuV8tO8a
Let each scar be footnoted with wisdom hard-won.182Please respect copyright.PENANANuCkfJvIbp
We are all unfinished stories,182Please respect copyright.PENANAA2WtJT2m5g
And in some chapters, failure is simply foresight.
