Write to me about hearts.

This is my second contest, I tend to actually comment fast.
My last contest was about inspiration and I'll share the poem I came up with from that contest cause I finally finished it. I'm not completely happy with it but I can always edit it later.

I'm in school and I actually have projects to work on but I'm a procrastinator and this gives me something to do. Minds well make use of my points though I may not have many. I let my last contest have 30 entries, this time I'm lowering it, I don't mind reading poems but some are really long and unless it's really good and is entertaining, I get tired of reading it quickly.

So, I want you to tell me about hearts. Make it good.
The color, feelings, how it works, How it beats, heartbreak, heart aches.

This is called, "A letter to my heart"

Dear heart,
Please stop screaming
I can’t help how I feel
And that my brain doesn’t agree
I’m in a battle and I’m confused
I don’t know what to do
I don’t know what to say
And I don’t want to say anything
I want to hate him
I try to
And I just can’t.
I don’t love him
Of that I’m sure
I’m tired of the pain I cause, dear heart
He doesn’t want me
That thought runs through my mind
Causing you to beat faster at my fear
So this is a letter to my dear heart
To say, please shut up
I’m tired of the pain it brings
When I don’t say what I mean
When I don’t share my thoughts
When I’m not honest with myself
So I keep quiet
And battle the pain in my chest
As my heart beats in anger
Stop hurting
As much as you do
I can’t help how I feel
And that I don’t want to admit that I feel anything at all
I hate when you quicken
When I’m not true
I smile, but you pain
I hate him
I hate him
I hate him
But I love him so much
I can’t help it.
I had a fight with myself today
I got scared of myself so I ran away
I’m not sure what I want anymore, I can’t think straight
I can’t see through my tears
I hate that I can feel, such pain
And that I do because of someone,
Someone I hate
I won’t speak words
I won’t admit to anything
I’ll think it all, keep it to myself
It still hurts all the same
The pain I get for not sharing what I feel
I try to talk to my brain
But it doesn’t know what to think
It pains too
The headaches that I get.
I don’t know what I want
I can’t make up my mind
My heart wants one thing
My brain the other
My brain doesn’t want to hurt my heart
And my heart doesn’t want me to be alone

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on April 26
  • Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 50, Bronze: 50, Honorable mention: 2 people
  • Final notes:
    Everyone who entered, thank you for entering. I enjoyed reading these though I think I expected something different. I wanted to read about hearts, I wanted to actually read about how it aches and hurts, and how it beats.
    I'm not complaining, I enjoyed reading all of these. I like reading poems out loud and some were just fun to read that I read them more than once. The last one I read was, "In Time Mate or In Time I Date ? - Love's [h]alter-wring or altar ring ?" I read though it twice, if you haven't read it or any other contestants writing, you should. Congratulations to the winners.
    I was about five seconds away from hitting end contest then I thought I should reread them to make sure of my order. So I thought about this, I want to make sure I reward who listened to me most, who did what I asked, what I wanted. I also recommented the finalists, so they got double comments from me. The first one telling them what I thought about it when I first read it, and the second, just giving more detail since it’s not last night when I was reading them at 2 in the morning. I don't think I am completely sure with my order but what matters to me is that they get recognized. My first choice, I was sure of, I only changed it once. I've changed the list a few times though.


    I am considering, when I get a bit more points that I should start another contest, this time you write for me, no more prewrites, and it seems I must be specific. Not only specific but strict about what I want and if I don’t get it I’ll delete people. If you’re interested then look out for my next contest. I’m not sure what it will be about yet but it will be fun.

    Is passion palled by plenitude, or desecrated, sated ? castrated by its magnitude, once baited is abated ? Is passion passing interlude
