Diamonds & Despair
The sparkle of a diamond is deceitful. It promises eternity, yet within its core lies a darkness, a void. Diamonds are mined from the earth's essence, born of pressure and pain. Their beauty is a cruel manifestation of the despair that fuels their existence. We are drawn to their magnetism, yet they mirror our own inner void. Perhaps, in the end, diamonds are not a measure of love, but a embodiment of human anguish.

An impenetrable code of silence
In the shadowy underbelly of certain professions, a sinister code of silence often prevails. This unwritten law dictates that members are expected to remain silent about criminal activity. Fear of retribution from fellow members, coupled with a sense of loyalty and the group, enforces this deafening silence. As a result, accountability is often buried, allowing corruption to thrive.
Breaking this code can be dangerously perilous. Anyone who dare to speak out often face isolation, becoming targets themselves. This corrosive silence creates a climate of suspicion where honesty is rare.
Trapped Inside, Shut Outside

The walls close in, press down, constrict, and the air grows thick, becomes stagnant, feels heavy. You yearn to escape, break free, get out, but the door remains sealed, bars hold firm, lock refuses to budge.
Then there's the opposite: being locked out, shut outside, denied entry. The world beckons, teases, calls read more from just beyond your reach. You see the warmth, light, life inside, but you're excluded, separated, left behind. It can feel like a cold, lonely, desolate existence, isolated, abandoned, forgotten.
Both states mirror, reflect, share a sense of helplessness, powerlessness, resignation. They are limitations, boundaries, walls that prevent us from fully experiencing, connecting, participating in the world around us.
