This contest is for people who just can't fit in or find their place in the world, people who have special needs and who are different. I know everyone is different, but I mean people who have difficulties with certain things. For example:
Mental health problems (I don't like to put problems, but they are) ie. BiPolar, Depression, Personality Disorders etc.
Autism/Fragile X/ADHD/ADD/Disruptive Behaviour Disorder
Any other special needs.
It can be about how it effects you, or other people. It can be about someone else or just what you know about it. Just write anything you want to say about it.
I promise to comment on every poem.
The rules are...
Put 'I am special ' in your box thing.
Write about what the poem is about and what it means to you in your box.
Comment on *either* one of my poems or another poem in the contest for each poem you enter and put it in your box.
The things at the end are...
*Gold*... 500 points
*Silver*... 300 points
*Bronze*... 100 points
*Honorable Mentions*... 20 points
Thank you for reading the shit.

*Update*
People... for fuck sake. There are *three* rules. That's it. It's not like I've written down 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16.. whatever amount of rules. NO! I have written *three*. And I have my own rules. For those who have followed the rules *thank you* and I am sorry for this message. For those who *haven't* I have *two* things to say.
*ONE*... Do *NOT* piss me off.
*TWO*... *R**ead and follow the fucking rules. All three! Don't just write '*I am special'* and think that is it. There are three rules!*
Thank you.
*Finish*
I want to say thank you to all of those who took the time to enter and follow the rules. I enjoyed reading and commenting on every poem. It is a shame that I only have three trophies. All those with Honorable Mentions deserved them too!! And those who got applause's deserved an Honorable Mention.
Those who didn't follow the rules got jack shit and were lucky that I bothered commenting.

Thanks for commenting!

Your welcome!! Thanks for commenting!

No. I'm not being funny but I have a DBD and probably find it the hardest out of everyone here to follow rules but I manage to do that for contests. It is only fair. People who don't do it are just being lazy and disrespectful and too many people do it (hence the rant).

I've commented on "Words" and "Hide the pain." I forgot to put them in my box so i'm putting them here if thats ok, but i followed everying else. (I just don't wanna piss ya off...(lol))
Hugs and Bruises,
Ashley -
Bah, I'm new at this whole contest thing. I think I submitted a prewrite? I don't know. How am I supposed to add "I am special" and the comment for another poem in the box?
-
This is a cool contest, i like the picture, and the follow up on the rules, your profanity made me giggle. I'm just weird like that. If inspiration strikes i may enter. Good luck with the contest anyway. -T
-
Oh ok.. thanks for following the rules!
-
Click on edit and then under the poem there will be your authors comments. Easy peasy!
-
lol.. how do you mean, profanity??
Thanks for commenting!

Skitz! You have a really good turnout for your contest. I'm really proud of you. If you need any help, let me know. I'm good for at least one vote for ME. LOL Just kidding. Hugs, Mom.

Hmm. I'll look for your poem now!!
-
LOL you can't vote for yourself. Help would be appreciated.. but I'm not sure if you can seeing as you've entered!
How funny is this.. someone entered a poem called 'Eating Is A Sin'. I commented that I didn't have to read it because I found it on the interenet years ago and write it down. She has deleted it!!
Anyway.. let me know what you think!!
Love you,
Skitza
-
LMFAO And now she says,
'heh?? sorry. i know. my sister and i were messing around and she goes hey you should see if that one could win in a contest b/c we both thought it was stupid but hey thats fine. bye'.
-
Just joking around, i just thought it was funny. You made me laugh. - T
-
Oh right lol thanks!

Thanks Skitza great contest
-
Thank you!!
-
this was a great contest...you had alot to read as I can see...you made excellent choices...great contest
-
Thank you for commenting! There were so many excellent poems. It was hard to chose!
Take care!
skitza

Thanks so much for the trophy. It really was a great contest. You left the criteria broad enough for many to explore their own differences or those of people that are closest to them. It's always nice to revisit such thoughts and put things into perspective or just let them breath a bit.
Thanks again.
