Contest Overcome the impossible. by bballer21

This for poems that are filled with tons and tons of emotion. I wanna hear about your problems, ones that you have overcome, wish to do, or in the process of. I'm going through some pretty hard times right now, so I'd like to hear how others are coping. Give me a bit of idea (:

Rules:
Nothing too specific, just try to keep your thoughts under 60 lines unless they are really short lines. No big paragraphs please!

FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN BREAKING THIS RULE ^^^ i did not even bother to read your poems! sorry ! waste of an entry.

Tips:
If it is really sad, and I cry, expect to be moved to the top of the list. By the way, it's not hard to make me do so (:

I also love rhyming, so try your best. It's not required, but will help a lot.

Picture poems are also acceptable.

Try to limit the profanity to a little please. It gets annoying seeing dancing bunnies all over the screen.

Please leave your name also, i'd like to read more of everyone's work.

Goodluck!

~~ allie.
