poems...what else?

rules first.
a. center align
b. no upper case whatsoever
c. screen name in author's box
d. reply to my comments so i know you're still around
e. message me with what quote you want
f. i want no repeats of quotes; one quote = one entry
g. put the quote in your author's box, after your name
h. tattboyspet is co-judge so i can have a pretty background. her backgrounds kick ass
i. one entry per person, unless you ask nicely
j. points will go up

here's an example of how your author's box should be:
quote: "number. quote"
Anonymous Shadow

ok now for the quotes. in the message, copy me (shadow) the quote, and i'll tell you where it is from.

. from here to forever it's will i will follow
MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE
. take my fucking hand and never be afraid again
. check into the bella morte
. send you roses when they think you need to smile
. all we are is bullets
PLACEBO

. she stole the keys to my house, and then she locked herself out
. fuck the government, yea, fuck their killings, fuck their lies
. completely meretricous of a poke in the eye
GREEN DAY
. one nation under dog thereof which i stand alone
. well i'm a waste like you, with nothing else to do
. i got a rock n roll girlfriend, and another ex wife
. another lesson to be learned from a girl called kill
LINKIN PARK
. six feet underwater, i do
. i used to be my own protection, but not now
. your friends all plead for you to stay
. i designed this rhyme
CRUXSHADOWS
. look deeply in her eyes, so delicate
. the human animal is a beautiful and terrible creature
. take back your memory, hitting hard muscles bent in agony
. see the rose within the field of white
EVANESCENCE
.
. don't want to lock me up inside
. now i know who i really am: a theif, a whore and a liar
.
FALL OUT BOY
. we're the new face of failure
. tongues on the sockets of electric dreams
. the full moon pills got me out on the street at night
. let me see your moves
HIM
. i've lost my faith in you
. passions killing floor
. and love's light blue lead me to you
.
NIRVANA

    Too many rules and not enough options. They are all angsty and liberal. I'll pass.

    Hey I was wondering if I could write two poems? If not, that's cool. I want to write for :
    and i'm still waiting for the rain to fall, pour real life down on me,
    and
    upon my death shall i begin forsaking all i've fallen for?
    If I can only write one, I'll write from the first quote. Thanks!
