A Different Kind Of Dark...

Ello my dear poets.

Now i've been saving up the points to do this contest,
so dont disappoint me. =]

I want you to write me something dark.
Something that will depress me to great levels.
Something that will make me cry.
Something that will stick in my heads for weeks on end.

But here's the twist...

No gore,
No death,(with exception of suicide but i'd like to know reasoning behind it.)
No rape,
No physical abuse.

I want it all to be mental and emotional.
It can be torment
it can be cutting
it can be a hard life
it can be about drugs.

I just want to know the reasoning behind everything.
I want the emotion and the feeling.

ANYTHING dark that doesnt involve the previously listed.

I'm allowing prewrites but I will judge them harder and they'd
better fit.
If they dont I will DQ.

I will show extra apprecitation toward Fresh wirtes. =]

If your poem is abstract, leave a simple explanation in the AN.

I will try to comment all.
If I dont forgive me.

Just a few rules.
-No sticky caps
-Keep swearing to a minimum
-I'm only thirteen and although I dont mind reading "Adult Poetry" the site wont
let me so make sure I can read it please. =]

Contest closes tomarrow.

I think thats all.
Have fun...
nice depressing fun
;]
Good luck.

    could not enter contest

    when i look in the mirror its her face i see so weary from hurt so haunted by the night mare she lives in each day only to look forward to a drunken father hitting her with chains shes grown to enjoy the pain because her father says her loves her when he sees the blood pour from the gashes his belt has made. her eyes deep with sorrow a fake smile painted on her face her heart bruised because shes never known a gental love only one filled with pain and the desire to use the small shap blade she hides in the notch of her bed post so when she hears her parents fighting and him tieing her to a chair so he can have better aim she can reach up and slash deep into her wrist cutting away the tears and bringing back her brutal love.
