Contrast

Outside, the air gets warmer; the sun shines again.

Inside feels as cold and dark as a stormy winter's night.

Outside, trees are budding, flowers are blooming, birds are singing; there is life all around.

Inside feels dead, dreary, desolate; but wait... Movement!

Turmoil. Confusion. Creativity colliding with concrete walls in heart and mind.

Must beak free; express tangibly.

Frustration builds as passions tarry behind steel doors.

Outside, spring is in the air, and creatures awake from slumber.

Inside, a bound heart cries out, "God save me!"
