I actually had a completely differet idea for this contest but i was listening to jordin sparks-god loves ugly and got this idea.
I want a poem about how you see yourself,not how others see you but your own self image whether it has to do with your body, your personality or your beauty tell me who you see when you look in the mirror.Tell me what you dont like about yourself or tell me what you do like about yourself.

Damnit, I wish I'd found this sooner. I've been feeling, for a lack of better words, disgusting these days; you know, ugly, fat, and worthless, and on top of that, I suck at poetry too
*sigh* I'll see what I can pull outta my ass in 4 hours...

im going to reopen this and probably judge it around new years

Maybe I'll enter then, if I can manage to not suck at writing by then

Thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoyed my heart’s labor, I would also like to congratulate the winners and other fine poets for participating as well.
Sincerely,
MJ Donnelly.
