The Raw Madness That Makes Me Who I Am, Judged 11/16/2024
Sponsor, Anoucheka Gangabissoon

FIRST PLACE

"I always thought of my introversion as a flaw in this world of chaos. madness and isolation; and then my flaw became my greatest asset."

Quote by _ Constance

have two personalities and both are me the one I show to the outside world is a happy girl, who smiles with her perfect teeth ... hair confident, kind, gentle, tranquil and serene have put the past way behind but my secret self is in raw turmoil and I wear a dark cloak of grief dwelling in old memories for comfort love the secret garden I have created beyond the outside madness that makes me who I am I tend my garden of flowers and plants it is where writing poetry brings me great peace oh, adore the deep still silence and know that I can stay or go out for long walks in nature with swaying trees and my books murmur and whisper waiting I need both sides of me to dwell with me the beautiful girl and the forlorn girl love each one for different reasons I need both to balance my Zen and Heavenly devotion the secret me loves all my junk all those things, those treasures collected the dishes, the photos, jewelry, the things I touch my art supplies, paints, brushes with love
