Make your pain mine...

Okay, so this is my first contest, so let me make it clear first that I'm really not all that sure what I'm doing. But regardless of my general lack of knowledge in this area (setting up a contest, judging, etc.) I'm giving it my best shot.

First the rules. If you do not follow them you will be DQ'd. They are as follows:

1) No adult content or erotica... I can't read that.
2) No typing lIk3 tH1s. No chat-speak of any kind... it annoys me.
3) Stick to the topic.
4)You can swear... I don't mind. But just not too much because it gets pretty tacky.
5) I have a feeling I left something out... so don't do anything stupid and you should be good.



What I want is I want pain... misery... broken hearts... eating disorders... suicide... cutting hopelessness...

I want to feel YOUR pain. Take you pain and make it mine. Don't think... just write. Write what you feel and write what you think. Pain is universal; so many people can relate, because everyone has felt pain. Be it emotional, physical, or mental anguish, we've all been there. So tell me about your worst time. That one time when you almost lost it.

And a tip you may find useful: I like ryhming poetry. Especially if it has a good rhytm and flow to it. I like free verse too, but not as much and only if it has a sort of flow with it too.

And try to be patient with me on getting around to commenting them all... it's my first time doing a contest, but I'll do my best! (And just to warn you... my comments aren't very original or unique... I don't know why... I'm j not a good comment-er... I apologize in advance.)

Have fun! =D
