This contest may sound a bit controvertial but it is a topic that i think needs to be more openly spoke about. People who have been abused tend to feel they are to blame and it is something to be ashamed of.Well it is NOT. So i want you to write about it. Rant, rave, be honest, be detailed, express your true feelings. No one will judge you on this contest. So what ever abuse you have suffered write about it and be as straight, angry, upset graffic as you wish
Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on February 3
- Rewards: Gold: 1000, Silver: 500, Bronze: 200, Honorable mention: 3 people
- Final notes: Ok...i am so so sorry that it has taken me so long to judge this. The truth is i didnt have a clue where to start! every single entery has so much hurt, so much pain and so much honesty in it. I didnt know where to start. But i finally managed to do it! i think everyone should read the three trophy winners enteries...The emotion and heartbreaking tale told is incredible. Each entry brought a tear to my eye and moved me in many ways.
Thank you to everyone who entered here. I hope that this contest has shown you all that you are not alone...that there are other people out there who have been and are still going through simular pain.
I want each of you to know that if you ever need someone to talk to..some one who understands a little bit about how you feel..i am here for you...every one of you.
Thank you again and i hope to hear from you all xxxx

You can enter up to three poems????
I wrote a series in exactly three parts. Um... It's a true story. So it fits... I'm going to enter it...but it needs to be read in the right order... I'll label as such...
