Diamonds & Despair
The glitter of a diamond is luring. It promises eternity, yet within its core lies a darkness, a void. Diamonds are extracted from the earth's essence, born of pressure and pain. Their lustrous glow is a cruel illusion of the despair that feeds their existence. We are drawn to their allure, yet they symbolize our own inner void. Perhaps, in the end, diamonds here are not a reflection of love, but a manifestation of human suffering.

A code of silence
In the shadowy underbelly of any organization, a troubling code of silence often prevails. This unwritten law dictates that members should remain silent about wrongdoing. Fear of consequences from fellow members, coupled with a sense of loyalty and the group, maintains this powerful silence. As a result, justice is often obscured, allowing corruption to run rampant.
Breaking this code can be extremely perilous. Those dare to speak out often face severe punishment, becoming outcasts themselves. This corrosive silence creates a climate of suspicion where open communication is rare.
Trapped Inside, Shut Outside
The feeling of being locked in, trapped inside, imprisoned within can be suffocating, claustrophobic, overwhelming. It's a prison, cage, box of your own making, thoughts, reality. 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 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.
