explode, okay?

FAVOURITES ONLY.
that means if you are not on my favourites list and you enter, i will dq you.
i reserve the right not to comment.
prose/free-verse only.

i haven't been seriously affected by a piece of poetry in a while.
i don't think any single poem has ever singlehandedly made me cry.

i want you to rant about whatever is going on in your life.
i want you to make me fucking break down.

okay?

  11. Breaking down in a different sense
    I believe ignorance is a result of arrogance and that arrogance is the consequence of falsities, of force-fed compliments.

    Oooo.

    I'll come back when this is done, and look at winners, to see if the poems make me break down as well.

    "i don't think any single poem has ever singlehandedly made me cry." - I can really relate to that. Or well, there was this one poem once but I cried because it was a friend's and I felt sorry for him, rather than just the poem.

    I'm really in exploding mood right now, but I have no idea how to write an actually sad, good poem. I'll try though

        it doesn't have to be good. doesn't have to be poetic at all actually. just emotional.
