Dysfunctional

Aren't we all? This is my third contest and I'm in the mood for a couple of certain things. Stereotypical issues and others. Check it out.

Choices
1 Abuse. I want it from someone else's point of view, not the person being abused. Physical, emotional, or mental.
2 Self-injury. I want to know how it makes you feel.
3 Mirror image. What do you see?
4 Eating disorders. Why do you do it? How does it make you feel?
5 A suicide note. I want to know what your last words would be. I want it meaningful, not just 'I hope you fuckers are happy now that I'm dead.' I want emotion.

Rules
1 Cussing is aloud. These are your emotions so go for it.
2 I don't want any sticky keys or internet talk.
3 In your author's comments, tell me which choice you picked. You're not required to put anything else but can if you'd like.
4 Submit as many as you'd like.
5 Only one prewrite.

Victims, aren't we all?-The Crow

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on March 1, 2005
  • Rewards: Gold: 300
  • Final notes:
    Please read this. All of you did a remarkable job. This was my best contest by far. I loved every single poem and you guys gave me so much raw emotion. It was great. Thanks for entering my contest. I look forward to reading more of all of your work. Just remember, you're never alone. If you think you're screwed up, look around. Everyone is. No one's perfect. Not the beautiful cheerleader, not the sexy celebrities, no one. We're all screwed up. We're all dysfunctional and we're eachother's victims. For all of you who decided to do SI poems, I'm guessing you did them out of experience. Today is Self Injury Awareness Day. Best wishes to those who are cutters, burners, and all else. It's ok to ask for help. We all want to get caught. That's why we go on self injury websites, draw pictures of it, and write poetry about it. We want to know someone cares enough to get angry about it or to hold us. It's ok to cry. Those who did abuse, I'm sorry if you went through that tragedy. It's hard and poetry is a great way to let it out. If you decided to just put yourself in the person's position, then you did a great job at seeing through someone else's eyes and I hope you do that in your everyday life with your peers. As for the suicide note, I hope that no one here is thinking about doing suicide. If so, please think of those around you. You make not think so, but somebody cares. There's always somebody that cares. Also, think about yourself. You all have so much to look forward to in the future, why give up now? You've gotten this far. Keep going. You'll inspire others to do the same. I'm not trying to counsel anyone, just letting you know you're never alone. We're all the same in our different ways.

    No, the suicide note doesn't have to be in poem form. I'd prefer it to be, but if it's not, it won't lessen the chance of you winning. All I ask for is emotion. I want to know how bad your life sucks or just how unbearable it is.
