So basically i can't find a contest i want to enter, so i'm making one instead.
FOR ALL THE SINGERS/SONGWRITERS/LYRICISTS:
#1] I LOVE lyrics. this is an option where'd i'd love to have prewrites. New ones are good too, but usually there's one song your most proud of, thats the one i want. Any genre EXCEPT religion bashing. I'm a Christian and though i respect your beliefs its MY contest sorry. However, if the song is about a love for your God or religion in a non-negative way, go for it.

What about turning something most people consider a "bad habit" into a very good, useful, constructive habit? (Specifically, "pill-popping".) I know that's not entirely what you were after, but, honestly, I'm sick and tired of writing the same basic "being a drug addict sucks/quitting drugs is hard but people will give you lots of praise for it" story.
