Confined to My Castle
The dungeon's dampness/mouldy air/mustiness pressed against me, a constant reminder of my imprisonment/confinement/captivity. Outside, the world bustled/throbbed/hummed home arrest with life, oblivious to my plight. I wandered/strolled/paced through the cold/dank/shadowy halls, each step echoing in the heavy/oppressive/unyielding silence. My thoughts, like birds/insects/ghosts, flew/fluttered/danced erratically, unable to find solace in this forbidding/isolated/solitary place. A single window/pane/chink offered a glimpse of the sky, but its azure/steel-grey/turbulent expanse only served to amplify my feelings of despair/woe/desolation.
Walls Close In: A Home Confinement Story
The borders of my home became like a haven. Now they press in, a constant reminder of my restricted life. Days merge into one another, marked only by the click of the timepiece and the gnawing emptiness in my chest. Every sound from outside is a sharp pang of the life I left behind.
I drift through these confined rooms, hoping for some spark of hope. The sunlight that once streamed across my floor now seem cold, and the quiet is heavy.

Surviving on Lockdown
Life as we experienced it has drastically changed. The world beyond our doors is a blur of its former bustle. We are now stuck within the limits of our homes, forced to adapt to a new normal. The days melt, marked by the pattern of online meetings, consuming media, and baking. We crave for the simple activities that were once assumed for granted: a hike in the park, a cup of tea with friends, or even just a talk without a screen amidst us.
This new world has forced challenges, but it has also unveiled unexpected qualities within ourselves and our communities. We have learned to be more compassionate, more resourceful, and more thankful for the little things in life. As we navigate this uncharted territory, we must keep hopeful that brighter days are near.
Six Feet From Freedom
Life behind bars is a difficult reality. Every day, you face restrictions that feel like an unbreakable chain. The world outside seems so reachable, yet it's separated by just six feet.
Sometimes, the burden of those bars feels overwhelming. You long freedom with every fiber of your being. Each new day serves as a constant echo that you're trapped.
But even in the darkest moments, there's a flicker of hope. A hope that one day, you'll step over those bars and finally be free. That day might seem distant, but it's a dream worth holding onto.
Freedom's Imprisonment
The allure of freedom can be a tempting force. Yet, paradoxically, it can even lead to imprisonment. This happens when the very notion for freedom becomes perverted, transforming into a tool for control and domination.
Authentic freedom demands not only the absence of external constraints but also the cultivation of internal strength. When this inner foundation is lacking, even in a society that celebrates freedom, individuals can find themselves ensnared within the restrictions of their own minds.
Finally, the true measure with freedom lies in our ability to break free the obstacles that limit our potential, both externally and internally.
