## Narrative (EN)

Silence is not weakness.  
It is patience forged in still water.  

Each unspoken word becomes a stone,  
layer upon layer,  
until a wall rises —  
not to block,  
but to endure.  

Strength is not loud.  
It is the quiet power  
that bends without breaking,  
that endures without yielding.  

Silence, carried long enough,  
becomes strength unbreakable.
