No Fear, No Mistake

I walked on roads where shadows spoke,

Of dreams that broke before they woke,

But every crack beneath my feet,

Whispered—falling can be sweet.

The world said wait, I said begin,

They feared the loss, I saw the win.

For fear is just a fragile wall,

Built by the ones who never fall.

No fear to stumble, no shame to ache,

For every wound is proof we wake.

The hands that tremble still can build,

The hearts once shattered can be filled.

Mistakes—they carve, they shape, they teach,

What no calm sermon ever preached.

For fire refines, and storms remake,

The souls that dare each bold mistake.

So let the stars burn where they may,

I’ll chase their ashes anyway.

For life is lived, not kept opaque—

No fear to feel, no fear to break.

No fear, no failure, no mistake—

Only the courage it takes to create.
