Recognition Before Repair

The tighter something is held,
the sooner it learns how to leave.

Attachment is not connection,
it is the beginning of disappearance.

A world built on imitation
slowly forgets what is real,
until solitude becomes
the only honest place left.

Silence grows
where words fail to carry truth.

Not every mistake seeks correction;
some exist only
to expose the illusion of control.

In the attempt to fix what was broken,
something quieter breaks,
the one who was trying.

Even truth, when overexamined,
begins to feel unfamiliar.

Thoughts were meant to guide,
not to tighten into chains.

Nothing outside holds the weight
it is often given-
the source has always been within.

And perhaps wisdom is not in repair,
but in recognition:
some things are not meant to be held,
only understood…
and released.
