oh, to just disappear...

I want suicide.




-----------

The doctor came in the morning
She held my hand
And asked "was it worth it?
Could it be worse than this?
Please recall
Give me a hint
Anything will do
If this was the last time now you should tell us what to do"

-I was afraid I guess
Now I can't think no more
I was so concentrated
On keeping things together
I've learned to focus on I didn't want to disappoint
Now where is everybody?
Is it still light outside?
[-the knife]
-------------------------------------

[don't be dumb please. I most likely won't DQ, but I will ignore.]

I want to feel you leaving.
Floating...



*NOTE
:
Upon request, I'm saying how I feel. So if you receive a less-than-desirable comment from me, don't take it personally-- you're not the only one. It's just...

you broke my only rule.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on August 15, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 700, Silver: 500, Bronze: 300, Honorable mention: 12 people
  • Final notes:
    Thank you each and everyone for entering (I mean that). There were so many heartfelt and painful pieces, and it was EXTREMELY hard to narrow it down.

    I'm pleased with the results though:

    1. Solstice -- full of sound and reality
    2. Message in a Bottle-- like the weeping wind
    3. Submerge-- extremely well-written

    HMs-- you all were so close to trophies, and it's times like this when I want to kick AP for not being able to give out, say 5 of each gold, silver, bronze, etc.

    4. Mandatory
    5. Delirium
    6. Exhale
    7. Edge
    8. angel on ||dizzy wires||
    9. white fear.
    10. Everything Unwritten
    11. The Gravity of Freedom
    12. Living with depression: A woman's journal page
    13. Bye, o' Tex...... knowledge? Gee.
    14. fallen sheets.

    (I don't know where # 15 is... it says there are 15 pre-lims..
    but okay.)

    you each had your own unique spin on such a general and touchy topic
    I encourage you all, "winners" or not, to read and re-read all the finalists. it's beautiful writing. and well worth the points.


    Although I've hosted more personal contests,
    this one spoke to me the most.

    same here.
    its actually been crossing my mind a bit too much. i've gotten help plenty of times; but it never really stuck to me...
    psych wards are usually just a way to fake it out of there b/c its so damn horrible in there.
    ill see if i can enter something doll

    A Drag

    I just don't want to leave a mess --
    that is my main concern.
    I'd paddle out to Eagle's Nest
    and jump off of the stern
    of someone's boat if someone else
    did not have to retrieve it
    and drag the lake for my dumb sake --
    can someone just please leave it?

      yeah I know, I love it! I found it on google images... but it's originally from deviantart.com. Unfortunately I can't remember the person's username that posted it on deviantart.com and every time I try to find it again, it says I have to be logged in.

    This contest is beautiful. To find the serenity in the thoughts of suicide. To find it not as a butchery, but as secluded escape.

    I'm going to enter, but I have 1 question. You don't say not to, but what are your thoughts on multiple entries...I wouldn't post them all, but lol...but most of mine deal with suicide. Am I to narrow it down to one, or a few?

      I don't mind however many times you want to enter-- there's no written limit...... haha, just don't be ridiculous.

      a few would be good. [now I'm excited!]
