Analysis of My Drawer of Chaos



Now in the depths of chaos does lie, something that once did catch my eye I confess, seeing the tines, bowls, and spatulas at rest in what can only be described as a lovely mess.

Yet, relief does fill my soul for a reason.  My madness before demanded order and direction.  To the obsession of my former self, I have strived too overcome the relentless voice demanding perfection.  So now ...manageable... yet in finite space Chaos does rein, and a smile appears on my face...at least for now.
