Just listen.

(Picture is "Listen" by Hampalampa at Deviantart.com)

So often does a person go unnoticed and unheard. Their faces appear blank, but words boil beneath the surface, thoughts churning under the skin.

Don't you just want to scream out, anything and everything?

I do.

Here's your chance.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on June 22, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 300
  • Final notes:
    Hey guys -
    So sorry I couldn't comment on everyone's poems; I did, however, read all of them. I've been on a major time crunch lately, and I apologize for not being able to give everybody critiques. I was pleasantly surprised with your entires, since my last contest was a real flop. Well, here are the top 3:

    Spaces and Other Places
    Wow, darling, you really blew me away! I loved your detailing and honesty; it was like someone was reading my thoughts out loud to me. Very lovely.

    Who?
    I nearly broke down. My friend's dad is a smack addict, and this really hit home. Thank you for showing the true side of hard drugs.

    Left in the Dust
    Betrayal is a bitch, but music is a great escape. Even if its affects are temporary, all I need is a good dose of iPod and I'm good to go.

    Congrats to the winners and thanks for entering.

    See ya!
