A Concrete Jungle
Life blossoms in the bustle of a concrete jungle. Towering skyscrapers pierce the haze-filled sky, casting long silhouettes as the artificial lights sets. A cacophony of melodies fills the air - the blare of traffic, the shouts of crowds, and the rhythmic beat of urban life. {Yet|Despite this|, amidst this concrete landscape, pockets of green persist. Parks become oases, offering a momentary respite from the intensity of the city.

- Fragments of my past flickered like distant stars.
- Hope still flickered within me, a light in the gloom.
- I dreamed for the day when I could return from this cage.
