Alright, so this is my second contest on AP. My first didn't go so well so I'm hoping this will go a bit better. So here's what we're going to do. I just got out of an abusive household and I want poems that speak to me. I don't want poems about abuse though. I want poems about getting over abuse. Any kind of abuse, verbal, emotional, physical, or even sexual or drug abuse.. Any kind. It could be from any perspective you want. The abuser, the abusee, hell, you can even take in the perspective of an animal getting abused and how it could get over it. I want to be able to see the hope, to be able to feel that I could get over this, to know I'm not the only one. I want to be able to see how the person gets over the abuse. Give some emotion. Now, the ever so dreadful rules of the contest.
RULES!
1. Bashing is okay, as long as it doesn't get out of hand
2. No StIcKy CaPs
3. Don't write in all caps
4. PW's allowed, but I want they have to be really good
5. A minimum of 12 lines in a poem
6. Emotion, Emotion, Emotion!!
7. No Dirty Pretty please
Alright that's all for the rules. Now here's some more things you could use, to help better yourself for this contest. I'm wanting to get over the abuse I felt, so keep it hopeful. It can be dark since its abuse but keep it hopeful. I love imagery in poems and also reiteration of a line. But just because you don't do that doesn't mean you can't win.
Lets make this contest rock 
I'll be adding more points as more entries come in.
