This contest is for those who have been feeling quite depressed lately and feel confined, as if there's no escape. Please give me melancholic poetry, poetry expressing desperation, expressing how you feel when you 'know' that there's no way out, you need freedom but can't get it, you feel people and everything around you pressuring you but whatever you try, sadness still overpowers you.
You can also express your views of life, how you look at it when you experience such feelings.
NOTE that I'm mostly speaking about freedom of the mind!
Write something that expresses something between those lines. I want to see if there are people who [unfortunately] feel this way. Prewrites are allowed because I want something written with deep feelings, true feelings.
Evocative and powerful Imagery is appreciated.
Thanks xxx

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on December 28, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 3 people
- Final notes: Omg, this contest was amazing! The quality of the poems I read was very high in my opinion which made it even harder for me to choose. It's a pity I couldn't give any more prizes. I loved all the poems I put in the finalist list and also liked the others =]. I apologise for not commenting on all poems but only on the gold, silver and bronze but I've been rather busy lately. However, be sure I read them all =] Thanks all of you for entering my contest - a very successful one indeed ^_^
