Alright, this is gonna be a weird contest. It's gonna be an option contest.
1st option:
So, I've known people who have attemtped and sucessfully committed suicide. Recently another one of my friends has tried to again. So I joined TO WRITE LOVE ON HER ARMS it was first out of annoyedness, pissed-offness and spite, but I really want to be active in it. I want a chance to save people, so your first mission is to visit the website twloha.com and then write a poem about anything you saw, or your feelings on it (NO BASHING WHATSOEVER). Or you can write about you saving someone from suicide. I want emotion!
2nd option:
I've recently discovered a bunch of new bands, so of course I had to add quotes.
"Change my attempt, good intentions, SHould I, Could I?"
~Wasteland, 10 Years~
"Cuando la rosa muera," Translation "When the rose dies"
~Nostalgia, Stream of Passion~
"My fingers crawl like spiders caressing the wall."
~Passion, Stream of Passion!
"Cause Angels don't come home."
~Shattered, Delain~
"And your silence sounds like deafening screams to me."
~Frozen, Delain~
"I'm so lost, where are you, when you're supposed to save me?"
~Lost, Krypteria~
"The game is over, I'm facing the ruins of this world."
~At the Gates of Retribution,
Krypteria~
That's all the lyrics I have for you, but you can also be inspired by Evanescence, Within Temptation, and Lacuna Coil, but you must let me know what song or lyric is inspiring you.
That's all for now. I might add more options later.
Only a couple rules:
1. Don't give me an epic poem. I won't read anything over 40 lines.
2. You can have to poem dark, but you must have a happy turn at the end.
3. You must spell and use correct grammar. (Let me know if there's anything messed up in this and I'll fix it.)
4. You must have a background on which I can read the poem, if not I won't read. I'm to lazy to highlight it.

What's this "to write love on her arms" thing? Is is an AP group or a campaign?
-
-
It's a campaign started on the web at www.twloha.com. It's suicide, self-harm, and substance abuse prevention and awareness. It's really amazing. Go check it out.

OMG
i love you for doing a contest about twloha
love love love youuuu xD -

What an awesome idea
While I don't cut/never have, self-harm is a subject that I feel strongly about, as is suicide. It's been quite a few years since I last tried to off myself, and I hope I never end up back there again 
Also, you've got great taste in music
You're the first person (besides me, d'uh 
) I've met who knows who Stream of Passion is Marcela's voice is something else, no?
Anyway, enough babbling If I can stop sucking at poetry long enough to write for you, then it will be an honour If not, good luck! I'll donate points or something, should the need arise

Thanks. I hope you'll figure out something for my contest. Stream of Passion is amazing!! I love Marcella's voice, and her sister is pretty amazing too. You're the first person I've met who knows them without me telling you about them.
