Life within the cage ain't no breeze. It's a world of muted concrete and iron, where time crawls by like a snail. The days fuse together, marked only by the echoing of gates and harsh voices prison officials.

Each day is a struggle to survive, to find hope in a place where outside seems like a fleeting memory. The air is thick with anxiety, and the shadows hold whispers.

But, even in these brutal conditions, there's a unyielding spirit that persists. A sense of community, forged in the crucible of common struggle, and a burning desire for change.

Some inmates seek to make amends. They learn, they find solace through art, and they find friendship with others who have shared similar experiences.

Barriers 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 unresolved issues. They keep us trapped in the past.

We may raise these walls as a coping strategy. But over time, they can become restrictive, preventing us from moving on. Breaking down these walls of regret is a challenging process, but it is also essential for growth.

Existence Within

Life within a bustling city can be both thrilling and overwhelming. The constant activity of people and traffic creates a unique atmosphere. Every street holds the potential for discovery, from hidden cafes to vibrant street performances.

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

A concrete jungle

The city's heart beats with a relentless rhythm. Gray structures pierce the cloudy sky, their shadows stretching like grasping claws. The asphalt pathways are crowded with a sea of people, each hurrying toward an unseen ambition. The air itself vibrates with the hustle of millions living, working, and dreaming within this glass cage. Even the acoustics are a cacophony—a chorus of sirens mixed with the distant voices of everyday life.

Belief on Lockdown

The world feels different these days. Walls which once separated us now look to surround us, and the familiar rhythms of life have been thrown into a disjointed pattern. Yet, even in this ambiguous landscape, there lingers a flicker. A tiny ember of belief that refuses to be quenched.

It lives in the small moments of kindness, in the mutual experiences of isolation, and in the quiet strength we find within ourselves. This faith is not a denial of the hardships we face, but rather a commitment to survive through them, together.

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

Valuing Liberty

True liberation is a precious and often hard-won gift. Yet, its protection demands a continuous commitment. We must be willing to sacrifice our time, efforts, and even occasionally our safety to ensure its eternal existence. This is the essential price we bear for the blessing of living in a free society.
