Have you ever had one of those days,
the ones where you just wanted to curl up and cry
but you find yourself smiling numbly,
because it's what you're supposed to do?
Tell me about that hollow feeling
(don't tell me how to make it better).
Tell me about the cancer in your thoughts
(don't tell me how the rain is depressing).
But please don't be literal.
Metaphor,
Imagery
& Alitteration
are all very good things.
Rhyme,
Religion
& Lost love
are all very bad things
Entries that don't have a chance at winning will be DQ'd.
Don't complain, it gives you the chance to enter a different piece.

Valium works pretty well
Especially with vodka.

Well, i don't feel like i want to curl up and cry,
but i hide the frustration and anger with (sometimes stupid) jokes and smiles.
Yep.
I know how you feel. -
Rhyme is not a very bad thing. Shame on you for saying so! lol
-
-
It's bad when almost all the rhyming pieces I've read are end line "pain", "rain" B.S.
-
-
Yeah cat & hat rhyming, forced sucks.
-
-
Mmhmm and unfortunately there are too few people who know what I mean when I say "good rhyme", so I just don't bother.
But who knows? I might hold a rhyming contest soon

I reserved
But I can't write it for like 6 hours
When you judging?
If you judge before that, you can DQ me.
I have to go

-
Tell you what, I won't judge for another 24 hours, that enough time for you?
-
-
