| WATTYS 2018 WINNER: THE POETS | ❝Only when one can smile at her own reflection, be proud of her own thoughts and be happy with who she is, will she learn to fall in love with a candid picture.❞ Unveiled, unmasked, revealed. Displayed for the world to see, is her true personality. At first, she believed thoughts were just better left unsaid. She believed in bottling up her tears and locking away her secrets. Eventually, she let out her first whisper of silence. Taking baby steps, she slowly made her way into the world. She opened up her doors and took off her mask. Now, she's ready to show her true colours. She's ready to uncover those scars hidden beneath the painted smiles and the coloured lies. She's ready to be Candid. ~A poetry collection~

TheStarAwards winner!! 2nd position on 16th/Sep/17 Life gets a little too hard to handle sometimes, so we try to show it through our words filled with anger, regret, frustration, confusion, and mostly the pain- something that no one can understand except you, yourself. Most of the times, one has to deal with it all alone. I believe that people need let go of everything bottled up in some way. And to let it all out, I chose writing. ~◇~◇~◇~ As the title states, this book is all about deep random thoughts.
