Behind Bars

Life within the cage ain't no breeze. It's a world of drab concrete and metal, where time crawls by at the pace of a turtle. The days blend together, marked only by a chorus of of gates and barbaric voices officials.

Every day is a struggle to cope, to find hope in a place where outside seems like a dreamy memory. The air is thick with tension, and the shadows hold secrets.

Yet, even within these unforgiving conditions, there's a resilient spirit that persists. A sense of community, forged in the crucible of mutual suffering, and a burning desire for something more.

A few inmates strive to turn their lives around. They read, they write through art, and they create bonds with others who have shared similar experiences.

Walls of Regret

Regret can sometimes manifest itself emotionally as walls we build around ourselves. These walls are not made of brick and mortar, but rather of past hurts. They shield us from pain.

We may construct these walls as a coping strategy. But over time, they can become restrictive, preventing us from connecting with others. Breaking down these walls of regret is a difficult process, but it is also essential prison for growth.

Life Inside

Life inside a bustling city can be both thrilling and overwhelming. The constant flux of people and traffic creates a unique energy. Every avenue holds the potential for surprise, from hidden cafes to vibrant street performances.

Yet, amidst the hullabaloo, there's also a aura of community. Strangers often interact in passing, and local establishments foster a sense of belonging. Finally, life inside can be a truly rewarding experience.

A concrete jungle

The city's heart beats with a relentless rhythm. Gray structures pierce the steel sky, their shadows stretching like grasping hands. The paved pathways are crowded with a sea of faces, each striding toward an unseen destination. The air itself vibrates with the energy of millions living, working, and dreaming within this steel cage. Even the acoustics are a cacophony—a chorus of sirens mixed with the distant chatter of everyday life.

Belief on Lockdown

The world perceives different these days. Walls which once distinguished us now seem to contain us, and the familiar rhythms of life have been moved into a disjointed dance. Yet, even in this uncertain landscape, there lingers a flicker. A tiny ember of hope that refuses to be quenched.

It lives in the small acts of kindness, in the collective experiences of isolation, and in the subtle strength we find within ourselves. This belief is not a denial of the hardships we face, but rather a resolve to survive through them, together.

It reminds us that even in lockdown, our spirit endure.

The Price of Freedom

True liberation is a precious and often fought-for gift. Yet, its protection demands a lasting commitment. We must be willing to contribute our time, assets, and even occasionally our well-being to ensure its eternal existence. This is the real price we accept for the privilege of living in a independent society.
