I alone venture to the places where nobody dares to glance where I witness the sight of ugliness or shame suppressed deep within revealing itself here I witness strips of exquisite beauty concealed beneath a veil of grey there is much to be said about these neglected gardens and weathered walls adorned with worn-out blue wooden doors that stretch along desolate side streets unseen by others it is only me captivated by the peculiar afternoon light casting eerie shadows upon the cemetery of forsaken souls poised to embark on yet another journey devoid of even a glimmer of hope
