"I'm sad" POETRY :(

my second contest! yayy i have so much fun with these

DARK POETRY NO CLICHE SHIT! I'M SICK OF THE "MY HEART IS SHREDDED, YOU DON'T SEE ME FOR ME....i write enough of that junk!! give me something insanely dark as in crazy love! or whatever. if you write cliche stuff, it better blow my mind away.

RULES:
-no sticky caps...they seem pointless...
-no erotica
-don't over due punctuation. the words mean the most in these poems.
-no poems longer than 100 lines. That's my limit.
-NO VAMPIRES. sry, but they just don't appeal to me. i have no interest reading about them.

I will add more points and rewards and stuff as i go on.

IF YOU ARE A FINALIST, YOU CAN BE TAKEN OFF BECAUSE I CHANGE MY MIND VERYYY EASILY.

ENTER AS MANY AS YOU WANT!!!!!! JUST MAKE IT WORTH MY TIME.

I WILL COMMENT IF I LIKE IT. sorry to those who don't get commented...

++++++I FORGOT!!! PLEASE DON'T BE CLICHE. YOU BROKE MY HEART, I CUT MYSELF...ETC. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN! MAKE IT DIFFERENT!! DON'T BE SO LITERAL!&& please don't use the word depressed or depression. it simply ruins the metaphoric or symbolic meaning of the piece. (if you do, it's more likely you won't be a finalist..)



ps. i love gore & beautiful imagery&&& some dirty pretty.
thanks, i look forward to your entries
