A contest for the masses

Options
~*~*~

Write me something figurative.. Say one thing outloud and another between the lines ( See my poem 'A wall of words' to see what I mean)

Or Write me something different. Something bold.

Or... I've recently been having breakdowns again so.. I want to see others experiences or ideas on it.. So here's some things you can write on

Drugs ( Illegal or Prescription)
Alcohol
Cutting
What you see in the mirror
Hating yourself
Being angry and not knowing why
Screaming and no one hearing
The world not understanding you


Squee.. Or my favorite ideas you can write on, use the quotes for inspiration. If you do this one, if you don't think it's obvious.. tell me.

"Teardrops on roses, depleting all the life in me"
"She bled to know she was alive, cried to know that she was still there. But tonight she'll wipe her eyes and down peroxide"
"First you must learn to smile when you kill"
"Joy is figurative. Make it what you will."
"A smile a day keeps the pessimist away"
"It's all in your head, let's get it out"
"We must remove all doubt before we can proceed"

~*~*~
Rules..

So, these are all to be taken as a whim of mine. Using the things I list here, will decrease your chances of winning. Or.. It might now

DoInG WEiRD ShiT LikE ThiS.
Form poetry.(Erm... I don't mind actually. But I prefer freestyle. Just a tip)
Complete lack of Capitals and Punctuation..
Heavy cussing
Anything religious

Other than that.

Have fun.. ^^ Points will be added to the contest as I earn them.

    So what you're trying to say is that we should write a poem that has two different meanings (like your poem is about writing a poem and cutting)?
