I just made you up, to hurt myself ♥ (NIN inspired)

Here's the deal:


To me, Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) writes amazingly powerful lyrics.
Lyrics are fine, but they have to fit to music etc. which can be a hinderance.
So you, take the inspiration of any of his amazing lyrics from his NIN career and write on them.

What I'm expecting is beauty that can't be expressed through song, it should all be onfront of me in concentrated power and raw emotion

Just emotional, beautiful in a ripped up, screaming to the heavens way.

I have another running, inspired by other lyrics by other artists

Tell me in the notes, what song it is and describe the poem a little, or tell me where you got the inspiration from


So, go then. Write me something STUNNING

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on May 4, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 250, Bronze: 175
  • Final notes:
    You've all proved yourself as poets.
    If I called this contest "Tell me your boy problems!" I would have got 60 enteries insted of 6, and they would be the same spewed out gibberish. You thought about this. You worked with this. You tried and everyone did well. I was very pleased.

    This is what I was looking for, well done, everyone.

    Love to you all
    ~Lauren Jean
