It Does Not Have Me 
-- 
A recent contest at the club
~ItDoesNotHaveMe
~ItDoesNotHaveMerecently closed, with incredibly powerful results.
The task, along with the main focus for the group's origination, was to express through art, the emotions experienced and all the PAIN that coming while enduring a physical or mental illness.
The task, (inadvertently being to bring greater awareness to these afflictions) was to release a burden as artists that they identify with as they go through their expression of "CathARTsis".

this artist uses so many different mediums to express herself that, her gallery is sure to offer some star-quality pieces that speak to you as well. i've discovered:
I believe all these artists are deserving their honoring victories. May you pay them tribute and praise well-deserved.
I take my journal features seriously, you know I wouldn't promote anything not entirely worthwhile.
There were many other entrants, however, whom I feel also deserve attention and accolade also -- as the main purpose of this Contest and of ~ItDoesNotHaveMe was to bring both awareness and a release of angst that illness brings. Let's all be enlightened together, honor the pain, and work towards a remedy.

Between the potency/And the existence/
Between the essence/And the descent/

My entry is for all the people out there who are fighting mental illness.
