I WANT REAL EMOTION!!!! Cathartic writing - Open to everyone

There aren't many rules to this contest. All I want is RAW EMOTION. I don't want polished, edited-a-million-times pieces, but of course, I still want it to have a poetic quality.
If you need to swear, by all means, go ahead.
If you feel like you need to use sticky caps to make your point, please do (although I recommend against it, unless it adds to you piece).

Use the lack of rules wisely, because I'm still looking for good quality work. Spell check please

The only thing I won't except is erotica...this isn't that kind of contest.

Write about anger, passion, love, tragedy, an experience you have had that's changed you, a letter you wouldn't ever send to someone but needed to get out of your system, etc, etc. Those are just some random ideas, but I think you get the point now.

I want to be surprised, inspired, touched -- Make your piece stay with me for days. Show me soemthing I've never seen before. Make me feel what you are feeling!

I am allowing pre-writes but I encourage new pieces! What are you feeling RIGHT NOW? Is it not enough? What do you WANT to feel? What are you craving?

BE CREATIVE!!!!!!! and have fun!
