It's My 20th Birthday! Get In Here!

Hey everyone! Alright, so it's my twentieth birthday on January 16th! I have no idea what to do with all of my points, so here I am.

Dazzle me with something. Anything. Get out there. Find inspiration and write something fantastic. It doesn't have to be about my birthday, but if you know me, that's fine. If not, you can still send me birthday wishes!



I've got a few options for you, but you don't have to follow them.

Option 1. Picture Prompt.

or you can find it above.

Option 2. Quote Prompt.

Option 3. Something Dark.

Option 4. Birthdays

Option 5. Whatever the hell you want.

Rules:
1. Please give me a poem. Not prose. I like prose, but not in the mood for it.
2. yOu WiLl Be Dq'D If YoU tYpE lIkE tHiS.
3. Not more than 50 lines. I would like to judge this before my next birthday!
4. Please no erotica.
5. Swear if you must. But keep it limited.
6. Have fun!
