Dark. Emotional. Depression. [Cutting and Gore Too]

Well.. My first contest!! Yay for me. xD
Anyway.. Back to the contest.
First off, rules.
1. No sTiCkY CaPs ... I know some of you do that to get attention to your poem, but it's annoying to read.
2. No ALL CAPS. This is slightly less annoying to read than sticky caps, but it's still really annoying.
3. No erotica. This contest is supposed to be dark.
4. You must choose an option. If your poem isn't very good, I'll remove it from the contest. I'm sorry if that would hurt your feelings, but there's limited entries, and I want to give as many people as possible a chance to enter.
5. Any form of poetry.

Kay! Now... Options.
Option 1:
Make me cry. Write a poem that is so absolutely heartwrenching, that you have me weeping or have tears in my eyes. This is a harder subject to do, but if you suceed, it might lead to a trophy.

Option 2:
Gore. Blood. Horrifying details. I want something so absolutely horrifying, it has me scared for my life. I want to see the blood, the bones crunching, the skin ripping appart. A harder topic? Yes. But I love it, honestly.

Option 3:
Lost love. Enough said.

Option 4:
Depression, and thoughts of suicide.. Something that I can relate to. Something that can have you horrified at times, because of what you just did, or was about to do.

Option 5: Cutting. I want to see the blood, and know why you're cutting in the first place.

Option 6: Mix a few options. Surprise me.

    can we enter more than once?

    • No.. I wanted to be sure that everone had an equal chance to enter, and so that it would be fair.

  • i think i have a prewrite that would make you cry, but its already won a gold and i don't really want to enter it. lol. i'm in a predicament because of that.

    i don't think i have enough time to write something out of scratch, so i'll just bookmark and come back later. XD

  • My age is set to 13, so for those of you who entered adult items, you need to remove them from the contest. Since this is annonymous, I don't have the power to message the individuals who wrote the poem. But if the adult items aren't removed, or the tag adult isn't removed so I can view it, the contest will not be able to be judged.
