Life within the cage ain't no cakewalk. It's a world of drab concrete and steel, where time crawls by like a sloth. The days fuse together, marked only by the clang of doors and the gruff voices inmates.

Each day is a struggle to cope, to find purpose in a place where freedom seems like a fleeting memory. The air is thick with tension, and the shadows hold secrets.

Still, even amidst these harsh conditions, there's a unyielding spirit that persists. A sense of community, forged in the crucible of common struggle, and a flickering desire for change.

Some inmates attempt to make amends. They learn, they find solace through art, and they create bonds with others who have walked the same path.

Walls of Regret

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

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

Life Inside

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

Yet, amidst the chaos, there's also a feeling of community. Strangers often interact in passing, and local shops foster a sense of belonging. Finally, life inside can be a truly fascinating experience.

This concrete labyrinth

The town's heart beats with a relentless rhythm. Gray skyscrapers pierce the smoggy sky, their shadows stretching like grasping claws. The asphalt pathways are crowded with a sea of faces, each hurrying toward an unseen ambition. 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 honking horns mixed with the distant murmurs of everyday life.

Belief on Lockdown

The world senses different these days. Walls that once distinguished us now seem to enfold us, and the familiar rhythms of life have been shifted into a disjointed dance. Yet, even in this shifting landscape, there exists a flicker. A tiny ember of belief that refuses to be extinguished.

It manifests in the small acts of kindness, in the mutual experiences of isolation, and in the quiet strength we find within ourselves. This hope is not a denial of the hardships we face, but rather a resolve to thrive through them, together.

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

Valuing Liberty

True independence is a precious and often cherished gift. Yet, its preservation demands a continuous commitment. We must be willing to sacrifice our time, assets, and even occasionally our well-being to guarantee its prison eternal existence. This is the true price we pay for the honor of living in a autonomous society.
