Her aqua glare...
a startling wave
of determination
swept through
the boisterous
brainsick
crowd
that provoked her secret lunacy.
Pretending
in her sanity suit of armor
that she was
uncrackable.

Very well written.

I loved this. It takes talent to fit so much meaning into so few words. Good luck in the contest.

Some people wear masks. You have a whole suit. Makes me think of the tin man and wonder just why he was the tin man to begin with.
