In that quiet corner where doubt takes shelter,187Please respect copyright.PENANAUiQ2onPn9U
Fear lingers—unbidden, unwelcome.187Please respect copyright.PENANACfcqyclizh
It murmurs in the recesses of the mind,187Please respect copyright.PENANAo6DwpNvKCV
A chorus of imagined verdicts, cruel and premature.
Time, that merciless mirror, enlarges each flaw,187Please respect copyright.PENANAyFXbX8vvET
Every misstep replayed in merciless clarity.187Please respect copyright.PENANA9fd4Bu6fRr

Measure not the distance from the shore,187Please respect copyright.PENANAgkxa5Qd5Me

To keep rowing when the map is no more.
Let your missteps speak, not of shame, but of becoming.187Please respect copyright.PENANAWYvvHO0a5c
Let each scar be footnoted with wisdom hard-won.187Please respect copyright.PENANAA0l9ojm9l4
We are all unfinished stories,187Please respect copyright.PENANA3cmzBf7t9f
And in some chapters, failure is simply foresight.
