Do You Have What It Takes ?

Since my last contest sucked, I wanted to give contest-holding another go. Since I love options contests, here's another one:

Option1:
Scare me. Make me cry. Can you answer this question: Can you make me feel like dying inside ?

Option 2: Titles
Use these titles [song] to start your poem.
-Liar [It Takes One To Know One] [Taking Back Sunday ]
-Up Against [Taking Back Sunday]
-Awakening [Switchfoot]
-Head Over Heels [Switchfoot]
-I'm Yours [Jason Mraz]
-It's Tricky [RUN-DMC]
-The Kill [30 Seconds To Mars]
-Beautiful Lie [30 Seconds To Mars]
-Tears Don't Fall [Bullet For my Valentine]
-All These Things I Hate Revolve Around Me [Bullet For My Valentine]
-Hit The Floor [Bullet For My Valentine]

You can use these titles just as titles, as an inspiration, or use the lyrics to inspire you. I don't care which you choose, just let me know your decision ! :]

Option 3: Word bank

Word bank 1:
-Liar
-Clever
-Panic
-Exposed
-Disguise[d]
-Green

Word bank 2:
-Envy
-Malice
-Infatuated
-Brazen
-Vexatious
-Black

Word Bank 3:
-Discipline
-Malice
-Respect
-Vanity
-Orphan
-Alone

Option 4:
Be inspired by these quotes:

-Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils ... - Louis Hector Berlioz

-The man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone to blame it on. - Robert Bloch

-It takes 46 muscles to frown but only 4 to flip 'em the bird.

-When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

-Hard work never killed anybody, but why take a chance?

-Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died.

Obviously these are funny quotes, so i would PREFER funny poems, but that's not concrete. If you can make it serious, go for it.

Rules:
1. No sticky caps [BlAh BlAh BlAh]
2. No profanity [PM me if absolutely 100% needed]
3. Keep cursing to a minimum, please.
4. No line limit, but keep it under... a novel.
5. Please put Taking Back Sunday x Panic At The Disco in your AN so I know you read the rules.

Have fun please Be creative, be different, and please READ THE RULES !!!!
