[AM ADDING MORE POINTS, SO NEED MORE ENTRIES, thanks]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am currently going through the most difficult time in my life. I won't go into detail, and I won't bore you with sob stories. But I know there are others of you out there with a story to tell, some hurt to release. Now, I typically write dark poetry anyway, but now in particular I am feeling a lot of pain.
So write about your hurt, your past, your life. Your sadness, your feelings, anything that gives you a lot of emotion.
I prefer darker poetry, but it's up to you as the poet.
*self-mutilation is acceptable/welcome
*please no whining, you just have to know the difference
*lots of emotion
*make me think
*try to avoid cliche
*let me feel your pain
(I'M PICKY ABOUT RHYMING)
*2 poems max per person
*I prefer new poems, but if you have an excellent rewrite, go for it
*I WANT A LOT OF ENTRIES
so have at it.
thanks.

I'd like to know what's wrong, if you don't mind sharing. I enjoy hearing other people's stories; it takes my mind off of my own pain. Gimme a few minutes and I'll see what I can enter.
