In that quiet corner where doubt takes shelter,194Please respect copyright.PENANAQjNUFJnEVw
Fear lingers—unbidden, unwelcome.194Please respect copyright.PENANA6svOa3LgHt
It murmurs in the recesses of the mind,194Please respect copyright.PENANA9iJP9RM93f
A chorus of imagined verdicts, cruel and premature.
Time, that merciless mirror, enlarges each flaw,194Please respect copyright.PENANAYx3WgDnrkF
Every misstep replayed in merciless clarity.194Please respect copyright.PENANAMHC4b0kMZx
But here lies a truth so often overlooked:194Please respect copyright.PENANAht8tahvcc8
Even the fall teaches, if one dares to see.
What we call failure is seldom the end—194Please respect copyright.PENANAn1Jq9ZRcG0
More often, it is a turning, a redirection.194Please respect copyright.PENANANJFzsLACzU
Growth, after all, is not without bruises;194Please respect copyright.PENANAfXSEmqdYRW
The soil of progress is tilled by imperfection.
So if you should find yourself adrift,194Please respect copyright.PENANAVAlR3WhBuN
Measure not the distance from the shore,194Please respect copyright.PENANAm1e6rUUEfj
But the courage it takes to stay afloat—194Please respect copyright.PENANAFA4GuljcL8
To keep rowing when the map is no more.
Let your missteps speak, not of shame, but of becoming.194Please respect copyright.PENANAqfZ7UQcwE2
Let each scar be footnoted with wisdom hard-won.194Please respect copyright.PENANAGdWxirzmSU
We are all unfinished stories,194Please respect copyright.PENANAXFLQsGHG3X
And in some chapters, failure is simply foresight.
