| 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.

She is an outcast. She finds it easier to express what she feels in the form of writing. Whether it is poems, letters or long texts. These are poems that she writes trying to describe how it feels to live with certain mental health issues, in a world that disregards outcasts. So, these are on the darker side of the spectrum. Some poems might be distressing for some readers. I personally enjoy consuming dark content, it's kinda like a coping mechanism. I really hope none of you relate with any of these :) I'll be posting only poems here, I'll try to be as active as I can. The poems are not in any order. They are just the thoughts that pop up any time of the day. (8.11.2023) PS: Please check out 'safe space'. I need your help to make it a real safe space, readers!
