-No erotica
-No violence, gore, self-harm, etc.

- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 100, Bronze: 50
- Final notes: Thanks everyone for entering, I really enjoyed this contest. I was a little disappointed that so many of you picked a done to death theme, but oh well. And I'm sorry I took so long to judge, but I had finals and a mission trip and work and stuff so I just kept delaying it until I had time to get this done. Thanks so much and I can't wait to see you next time.

-
most of the things i write are for songs but many people write lyrics in differents ways so i put the best one that i think that is close to yours. i hope it's not too dark or sad. can we enter more than one poem?

try to lean more on sad than dark, and you can enter as many times as you want.
