In that quiet corner where doubt takes shelter,46Please respect copyright.PENANAVSz7AEUhIM
Fear lingers—unbidden, unwelcome.46Please respect copyright.PENANAWEyWyhHRYe
It murmurs in the recesses of the mind,46Please respect copyright.PENANAIsyySWi02P
A chorus of imagined verdicts, cruel and premature.
Time, that merciless mirror, enlarges each flaw,46Please respect copyright.PENANAhUQesWKPXi
Every misstep replayed in merciless clarity.46Please respect copyright.PENANAUsaEQCLwzj
But here lies a truth so often overlooked:46Please respect copyright.PENANA6UnUDEJ64U
Even the fall teaches, if one dares to see.
What we call failure is seldom the end—46Please respect copyright.PENANAhcnpyaFcpn
More often, it is a turning, a redirection.46Please respect copyright.PENANAJjKiiMbsjb
Growth, after all, is not without bruises;46Please respect copyright.PENANAKxCOjp0EGt
The soil of progress is tilled by imperfection.
So if you should find yourself adrift,46Please respect copyright.PENANAG2tVR2e4rq
Measure not the distance from the shore,46Please respect copyright.PENANAUxLULb4wnj
But the courage it takes to stay afloat—46Please respect copyright.PENANADEkBgdgAps
To keep rowing when the map is no more.
Let your missteps speak, not of shame, but of becoming.46Please respect copyright.PENANAcC1ipih7E0
Let each scar be footnoted with wisdom hard-won.46Please respect copyright.PENANAomcPk5iBuX
We are all unfinished stories,46Please respect copyright.PENANAOmiXIAV9Pb
And in some chapters, failure is simply foresight.
