Hey everyone!
My best friend, YoureNoGoodForMe, and I have decided to host a contest together. These poems can be about anything; there's no specific topic such as love or depressing, etc. There are tons of options. So pick a quote[s] && get inspired!
Option #1~~ Regular Quotes ~~
“I think I cried for days,
but now that seems light years away
And I'm never going back to who I was."
"This is to all the times I wish I had said no. This is to all the times I knew what he was doing. And I ignored it."
"And she knows that no matter how hard she tries,
and how much make-up she applies,
she can never hide from herself."
"It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see."
"It's hard to think about growing up when you're right in the middle of it. It's just hard to know what you want. Sometimes there are so many voices in your head, it's difficult to know which one is yours."
"Because I hoped you'd be there when everybody else left. I hoped you'd help me up when I fell. I hoped and that was my first mistake."
"It's not over till it's over.
Every ending's a new beginning.
One more chance to get it right.
One more chance to get it wrong.
It's not over till it's over.
Sometimes nowhere leads to somewhere,
And it all starts again in the end."
"He said, 'You're so tiny, like a doll, you look like you might break.' I wanted him to break me. Part of me did. He said, 'I can make you whatever you want to be.' I wanted him to. But what did I want to be? Maybe that was the danger."
Option #2~~ Song Quotes ~~
"I'm sorry I'm bad, I'm sorry you're blue
I'm sorry about all the things I said to you and I know
I can't take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds
And baby the way you make my world go round
And I just wanted to say;;
I'm sorry."
-Sorry: Buckcherry
"You could have been all I wanted
But you weren't honest
Now get in the ground
You choked off the surest of favors
But if you really loved me
You would have endured my world."
-Welcome Home: Coheed and Cambria
"I'm not sober all the time
You bring me down, at least you try
Until we see this eye to eye
I don't want you."
-Wake Up: Three Days Grace
"Do you know I'm faking
When I'm lying next to you
Do you know that I am blind
To everything you ever do."
-Driven Under: Seether
"What if I wanted to fight
Beg for the rest of my life
What would you do?
You say you wanted more
What are you waiting for?
I'm not running from you."
-The Kill: 30 Seconds to Mars
"She said if we're gonna make this work
You gotta let me inside even though it hurts
Don't hide the broken parts that I need to see
She said, 'Like it or not, it's the way it's gotta be.
You gotta love yourself if you can ever love me.'"
-Whatever It Takes: Lifehouse
"Hours slide and days go by
Till you decide to come
But inbetween it always seems to long
...Suddenly
I have the skill, yeah I have the will
To breathe you in while I can
However long you stay is all that I am."
-All The Same: Sick Puppies
"Just as beautiful as you are
It's so pitiful what you are
Should have seen this coming all along."
-Beautiful: 10 Years
