Recently I have just been feeling kind of hopeless. Like everything that could go wrong does and even though I've been trying to stay
positive, it's really hard not to just curl up in a ball and let my depression have me.
So what Im asking for is write me about a
time when you felt hopeless or just felt
broken.
Dirty pretty is welcome.
Rules:
-Put your Ap name in A/N (the reason I have this is because if I like your poem I may want to read more of your work)
-NO StIcKy CaPs or chat speak
-spell check
-give me emotion!!!
And I would prefer new writes over pre-writes
but I am allowing pre-writes.

I thought you'd want to know that it's pointless for entrants to put their AP name in their AN. AP has a new system upgrade thing that automatically puts "Anonymized" to the judges

yeah I realized that once all the entires started coming in, but thanks

I think i accidently entered 3 times and the entry on the finalists list was removed=[ Please tell me so i can fix it.

Thanks so much for the gold!! :]
