Who Are You... Tell me.

***Welcome Poets...



To my nineteenth contest.




And this is what I want:


I want your thoughts.

I would like you to write me a poem about who you are right now. I don't want simply, "I am a blah blah blah." I want something more than that. I want to know what you feel right now. Make me feel what you feel.
Make it awe inspiring, make it you thoughts, make it sophisticated, make it raw. I'm not really looking for pleasantness here.

Do NOT make it


try-too-hard-funny,
overly pleasant,
religious,
uplifting,
patriotic,
rape/molestation,
or erotica.




Rules:
1. Free-Verse; No Rhyme or Acrostics or Haiku
2. Write About Who You Are
3. None of that nice stuff as described in the list above
4. No chat lingo or sticky caps of course, grammar and spelling must be correct
5. Keep it under 27 lines
6. Feel free to curse/swear








Anything not fitting the above specifications, shall be removed.



Best of Luck to All Whom Enter...

    eh heh heh heh (evil laugh)

    Well, this is interesting because I'm nice the majority of time unless I'm coerced in being different. In this piece I can show my fangs.
