Leverage

I am the wrench in the clockwork, a tiny twist in the gears of a universe too vast to notice my pinch, yet enough to reroute the cascade— leverage, a quiet conspiracy of small forces. Like a catapult built from old regrets, I launch myself over gravity’s grumble, where time folds like origami cranes— folds that hide the sharp edges of loss, each crease a fulcrum point for flight. Leverage is the sly magician’s hand, lifting an elephant with a feather, trading the impossible for a wink— an alchemist turning doubts into leverage, transmuting weight into possibility. I am the offbeat rhythm in a symphony of cogs, the marginal note that shifts the meaning, the whispered nudge beneath the thunder— the pivot that tilts the scale, turning imbalance into dance. Leverage is the secret recipe in a shared meal— a pinch of kindness, a spoonful of patience, the subtle tilt that makes a cracked cup hold water, the thread pulled to unravel a knot that’s strangled days into silence. It’s the crooked key that fits no lock, the sideways glance that shifts a stubborn heart, the small word spoken at just the right moment, a lever pressed lightly beneath the weight of worlds. When the world demands a lever long enough to shift the mountains inside my chest, I build it from moments others discard— a stack of fractured promises, a hinge forged from stubborn hope. Leverage is not brute strength; it’s the art of bending without breaking, of finding the fulcrum in chaos, a crooked smile in the face of fate, a quiet power, slight but unrelenting— the subtle architecture of change. It’s in the way a whispered apology loosens the bolts of bitterness, the way a single seed, planted in cracked soil, can uproot the wilderness of despair— leverage is the unseen hand, the small lever that pulls a life out of the shadows.
