The Fineness of Falling Forward
Born to make mistakes, they say.
A truth that settles like dust
on the edges of our triumphs.
Not a decree of doom,
but an echo in the chambers of learning.
Each stumble, a language spoken
by the clumsy feet of growth.
A grammar etched in scars,
visible only to the touch of memory.
We are not born flawless,
but with a boundless capacity
to redraw the lines of our becoming.
The cracks in our porcelain selves
catch the light in unexpected ways,
revealing the intricate architecture
of resilience.
So let the errors bloom,
unfurling their strange petals.
For within their delicate imperfections,
lies the fierce, untamed beauty of being human.
