hurt.



To amuse myself I look at people's pages. I read poems by girls who think they have OCD and anorexia with all the long terms they can fit in to categorise them as "insane", which is so cool, you know. But they're "fine" because it's cool to pretend, apparantly. Fuck's sake. *insert attention-whore shite*

I'm in a bad mood.

Write about hurt.

I don't want girls who starve themselves, and post pictures of themselves on bebo with knock-knees and captions about their broken souls. I want the 47 year old women, who's husbands pat them on the head and tell them to eat an ice-cream.

I don't want people who take thumb-tacks to their thighs.
I don't want people who "think" they're gay, I want the people that will never be accepted by their parents.
I don't want "Vodka tears" I want the bloated livers and sallow-skin.
I don't want...you get the fucking picture.

I will remove, but don't take it personally. If you want, message me and I will comment on your poem, giving contructive critisism.. If you don't, I don't have to care anymore.

good luck.

Oh, put your name in the authors comments, please?
Plus: I don't like rhyme, but if it's how you roll, so be it.

x~x

So far, I've not got a lot of good poems, to be honest. It might be because pre-writes are avalible, and people are shoving in anything. If you're going to enter, I don't want a story, I want a poetry, I want imagary. I want each one to tell a story in a beautiful way.

      It's hilarious, isn't it?

      I wish I could give links of the funniest pages I've found, but it would be bullying or something.

      I actually saw someone put on "and I slit my wrists, IT DOESNT MAKE ME A BAD PRSON!"
      It made me laugh for some amount of time.

  • excellent comment. I've been horrible with writing lately but I'll attempt to give you something. if I can't I may pussy out and enter I prewrite. I know, I'm terrible but I'd at least like to give you something :]]]]

    by the way, epic intorduction. if I had a billion thumbs they'd all be pointing up.

      Enter anything, I don't mind! I can tell I'm going to get a billion pre-writes, so it's fine if you enter one, just so long I can start reading poetry again. It's been too long, and I came back here and it was dead

      • I've looked at the titles of some of the poems in here and I don't think people even bothered to read what you said. just from the looks of the titles you might get a shitstorm of shit. ha. and given this, it'll probably turn you off to wanting to read poetry on here. eye rolllll.

          Ha! I'm feeling that way too, looking over the poems, there's a lot of the stuff I'd want to stray away from, but still; I know there's a core of fabby poets here

    I would honestly love to get in on this, as I can't stand all this "my life is so horrible" *slit slit* non-sense that my generation is caught up in, but I'm suffering from writer's block :/

    I feel like I'm cheating you by entering a prewrite

        Well, definately got up on that. Although, looking back over it. I feel like there's more I could add to it.

        Might just be half PW half new material.

  • i wish i had time,
    however my hurt has scarred over and now i can't really
    feel it?
    if i do, i will enter.
    good luck to everyone elseee.♥

      Don't cut it open if you're feeling fabby, dear, because I'm really happy if you're feeling that way ♥

  • How bout a 52 year old woman who thinks your full of bullshit and don't know a thing about hurt yet ... hurt is when make your own choices and they scald you nearly to death. No ... I won't write about it to a 16 year old. Just shut up ... I'm in a bad mood too.

      I like that quote, "hurt is when make your own choices and they scald you nearly to death."

      You've almost entered there, for me, because that can be a hundred poems in itself. So well done

      You just can type it into a word document, or something, or simply ask someone. Good grammar is very important, but can always be worked on.

    entered a prewrite, but, just because your contest is intriguing, think i'll try to come up with a new one as well

  • I clicked on this because the title made me think trent, nin, and although that's not what this is, it is, and i like your options very much. sorry I found this late, I will try to come up with something. good contest.
