I'm done with this! (options)

Alright. I think this is my fourth contest, but it has been a long time since hosting one...so I decided to add options...Hehe

-so, as a backround for the title, it took me 2 and a half years to end an abusive relationship. So...the basis of this contest is the courage that it takes to end something!

Before you get your gears rolling, there are a few ever-present rules that you need to be aware of.

1. No TyPiNg LiKe ThIs. (honestly...it annoys me, and how can anyone stand to write like that?)

2.No erotica...you will be DQ'd immediately if I see it.

3.No "emo" writes...I don't belive in writing in an emo style...If you do have a write about ending...cutting, then I can understand that. So, if it pertains to one of the options, then go right ahead and write.

4. Put the option number in your AN. One warning, and if it isn't there, you WILL be DQ'd.

5. Put: "In the end, I may fall, but with you by my side, it will be as if I had not fallen at all" In your AN so I know that you read the rules...(sneaky eh?)



ALright! now the options.

1. As I am in love with this, I want you to write a twisted re-write of your favorite Nursery Rhyme. (has to Rhyme!)

2. Write about the relationship that you ended. (they weren't good for you!)

3.What has you so fed up, that you are "Done with this?"

4. One of my favorite songs, I want you to be inspired by it. It is "Red Sam" by flyleaf.

"Here I stand,
Empty hands
Wishing my wrists were bleeding
to stop the pain from the beatings."

5. ALright, have you been in an Abusive relationship? I want to know about it. How did you deal? Are you still in that relationship?

6. WOrthless: Do you believe that you are worthless? Why?

7. Depression medication: Are you taking meds for depression? How do you feel when you are on them? do they help?

8. Do you always pretend that you are happy? Are you finished with those fake smiles? Write about it!!!

9. I want lyrics for this option. THe Lyrics can be about anything you wish.

10. Finally, I want a write about you being done with what the world has given you. I want emotion in this!

Alright! Ten options...ten possibilities. Be creative, be emotional...I want it all.

Hit me with your best shot, and good luck!!!
