Life inside the cage ain't no breeze. It's a world of grey concrete and iron, where time crawls by in slow motion a snail. The days blend together, marked only by a chorus of of locks and barbaric voices officials.
All day is a struggle to stay, to find hope in a place where freedom seems like a fleeting memory. The air is thick with dread, and the shadows hold lies.
But, even in these unforgiving conditions, there's a stubborn spirit that persists. A sense of community, forged in the crucible of shared hardship, and a hidden desire for something more.
Certain inmates seek to better themselves. They learn, they express themselves through art, and they find friendship with others who have been there.
Barriers of Regret
Regret can sometimes manifest itself mentally 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 erect these walls as a defense mechanism. But over time, they can become suffocating, preventing us from moving on. Breaking down these walls of regret is a painful process, but it is also essential for healing.
Existence Within
Life inside a bustling city can be both thrilling and overwhelming. The constant motion of people and traffic creates a unique vibrance. Every street holds the potential for adventure, from hidden cafes to vibrant street markets.
Yet, amidst the bustle, there's also a feeling of community. Strangers often interact in passing, and local businesses foster a sense of familiarity. Finally, life inside can be a truly enriching experience.
An urban sprawl
The metropolis' heart beats with a relentless rhythm. Gray structures pierce the steel sky, their shadows stretching like grasping claws. The paved pathways are crowded with a sea of individuals, 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 sounds are a cacophony—a chorus of car engines mixed with the distant voices of everyday life.
Belief on Lockdown
The world feels different these days. Walls whose once separated us now appear to enfold us, and the familiar rhythms of life have been moved into a disjointed dance. Yet, even in this ambiguous landscape, there persists a flicker. A tiny ember of belief that refuses to be extinguished.
It prison lives in the small moments of kindness, in the mutual experiences of isolation, and in the gentle strength we find within ourselves. This belief is not a denial of the challenges we face, but rather a dedication to move through them, together.
It reminds us that even in lockdown, our spirit endure.
Freedom's Cost
True independence is a precious and often cherished gift. Yet, its protection demands a lasting commitment. We must be ready to sacrifice our time, efforts, and even in certain situations our lives to guarantee its permanent existence. This is the essential price we bear for the honor of living in a independent society.
