The glowing lights cast long shadows on the silhouettes huddled around greasy tables. Every gulp of strong liquor is a chug at forgetting, a fleeting escape from the reality that shadows them outside these dim walls. They come here to numb the ache, seeking escape in the murmurs of strangers who feel it too. But the drinks can only cover the despair for so long. The dreams, they're shattered, lying like empty bottles on the floor. And tomorrow? Tomorrow, the cycle starts all over again.

It's not just about the framework; it's about the unbreakable will that resides within. Here, adversity is met with tenacity, and challenges become opportunities to demonstrate the depth of our resolve.
They may try to break us, but we stand resilient. For in these walls, we find not just sanctuary, but also a reflection of our own core strength. We are the walls that withstand the storms, and the iron will that carries us onward
Existence Inside the Fence
The echo of metal on metal is a constant melody. Every move across this gritty floor sends a shiver down your spine. There's a heaviness to the air, a palpable tension that hangs like a shroud. The glances you encounter are etched with stories, some hardened by grief, others masked with an unyielding belief.
Days here can drag on, marked only by the food and the changing light through the tiny openings. Nighttime brings a different kind of quiet, broken only by the shuffling of cots and the occasional cough. There's a tenderness hidden beneath the tough exterior, a yearning for connection. Even here, behind these walls, life persists.
