"The walls seemed to narrow more and more each day, suffocating every breath of freedom I tried to steal. The moon I saw through the bars did not resemble the one I knew; it was a moon made of stone, cold and indifferent to the pain that time piled up inside this cell.

It is not the chains that bind you, but the silence of the people who once knew you and now have forgotten you. Every clank of the heavy iron door was a reminder that the outside world continued to move without me, while I had to learn to survive among shadows and whispers.

That night I swore I would not let the stone enter my heart. I would keep alive the memory of the sea and the sun, even if I had to paint them every day with my mind on the gray cement, until the truth found its way to the light."
