So a while ago I joined a creative writing contest and submitted my poem. Today was the awards ceremony, and my friend and I sat together since we knew we won't win anything since there's much better poets out there. Third place was for my friend anne (I've changed her name for privacy reasons), at that point I was sure I'm not getting anything. And then the jury was like "so our second prize is for a poem entitled Lamppost by Fabienne Semaan" And for real I was like "what" "Holy shit" "I won something" So my friends were cheering and I was shaking and I went up stage I was so happy, they asked if I want to read the poem and I said yes (since I might not get any other chance to read it) and since I was not prepared for this and I was so happy I was shaking and I was having an anxiety attack and the poem seemed endless at that point but I felt like I achieved something. So now they're publishing Lamppost in the university's newspaper. I'm feeling quite grand. (My friend won first prize we're grand) Picture of us the champs below
