What I want in this contest is for you, dear author, to pen me a masterpiece about the lowest a person can feel. The hardest thing you have ever had to deal with, the most painful experience of your life...
And then the single thing that made you arise from bloodied knees to go on with your life...
What I DO not want in this contest are sappy, corny, bullshit pieces about cutting and "Oh, the world hates me because Im so Emo..."
I DO NOT WANT sticky caps, Emo bullshit, dirty pretty, cutting bullshit. I WILL DQ YOU if you do not read this first.
((however, an attempted suicide may be the darkest thing that has ever touched you, if so, please do not make it "Emo" or the blubbery "boo hoo the world hates me" crap that most cutting poems entail.))
I want to read poems of resurrection of the soul after the darkest despair.
What was your saving grace.
*I may add more points if I get quality entries.
*The winners of this contest will move on to the next round. We will have however many rounds we need to single out the very BEST poem from the very BEST poet who entered. Invite all your friends.
I am NOT looking for perfection
I am NOT looking for rhyme, free-verse, or any specific style.
Enter in any form or style you wish ((NO HAIKU))
Thank you, and Have a great contest!

Does this have to be based on personal experience?

I would prefer something based on personal experience, your "darkest hour," and the strength you found to live again.

Can i write something about not being able to forgive someone for what they did? What they did was the hardest thing ive ever delt with. Does that make sense?

Yes, it is perfectly fine.
