fracture does not announce itself.

it accumulates as pressure inside time.

not emotion

not doubt

pressure that learned your rhythms.

the way you adapted

to survive

to decide

to stay functional

was never wrong.

it was inevitable.

time does not ask permission when it moves past a structure.

it leans

until something gives.

this is not a place for reassurance.

it is where the fracture either closes

or becomes structure.
