~Abuse~And it's Effects~----I Hate the Games but Love the Player---

I have opened the contest to prewrites as I am not getting many entries. Thank you to those of you who entered a new poem just for this write, it is appreciated.

I want poetry that is speaking of abuse. Whether it be physical, emotional, or mental. I would prefer if you keep sexual assault of any kind out of this contest. I dont mean to sound harsh, I know what its like, been there went through that, but, this contest isnt about sexual assault. i am asking specifically about mental, emotional, or physical abuse from either a spouse, bf, parent, relative, or someone close to you. I would prefer if they are a personal experience...but if not then that works as well.

I am going through something similar to what I am making this contest about so I would appreciate it if you please followed the rules...



~Rules~

- No dirty pretty
- No chat lingo or TyPiNg LiKe ThIs please
- I would like as much emotion as possible
- No erotica, that doesnt fit here
- ....Spill your heart out to me please
- No PW's until later if I dont get enough entries
- Please enter "Hate the sin but love the sinner" in your authors notes.




Thank you all.
I can't really say have fun...but, well, enjoy exploring your inner self.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on February 26, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 3 people
  • Final notes:
    Thank you all for entering and for those who took the time to follow my rules, thank you. I appreciate it. This was a hard contest to go through with, hard writes to read, and even harder to JUDGE. Howver, I judged them basically on whether you did what I asked in my rules, and how it affected me emotionally/mentally. Thank you ALL for entering. Every write had certain things that I could relate too. Whether that is a good thing or not, You be the judge. For those who won, Congrats. But in reality, we have all won in the sense that we were able to get out of these situations that have scarred us. Thank you once again hope to see you in my future contests.

    I've been through abuse from people...

    But I really don't think it would come out too well, sorry. =/ I'd love to enter... but I just haven't recieved much of this kind of abuse from excessively close people where it was quite as bad as what some people deal with... I've dealt with sexual abuse from a couple other people... both genders.... but you don't want that. So oh well, good luck with the contest!

    Now that I think of it....

    I might be able to write something regarding Boot Camp for the Marines the 11 days I was there.... I'll work on something. Lots of verbal and mental abuse there.

    I wish I had discovered this contest earlier. I've been through it, & once wrote about it in poetic form. I feel for all who have been abused & wish to express my deepest sympathies to them.
