i want words that drip with emotion.
i want phrases lined with gold.
i want you to write until you've drained every last bit of yourself out.
i want your pain in writing.
i want something so personal
so achingly raw
that it makes me shiver.
i want you to let out whatever's inside you
and make it into something beautiful.

any form will do; freeverse, prose, rhyming, whatever.
just make it legible.
DON'T make it forced
or cliche.
i can't stand bad grammar, spelling or punctuation
so if you want to impress,
proofread.
left align unless your form requires something different
and plain backgrounds please.

& you might just get everything.

i haven't been getting the kinds of entries i want.
i want imagery.
i want literary devices.
i want you to express your pain abstractly instead of throwing it in my face.
