  • sadly i only listen to the birthday massacre lately so I cant do this, I would be thinking too much of different sngs and couldn't be inspired by these.
    Nice playlist though.

    Eyes Turning on Me

    I can't see who wrote this poem, but the site will not let me view it because of my age....

  • Saddly,

    I really hope you can read it!

  • My Poem: Eyes Turning on Me

    Yeah, it's to the same beat. It's really just what would happen if someone sang the Skillet song to me.

    Yay!

    Yay! It's extended!! Which means more time for me to write... i haven't started it yet 'cause i'm too busy with school and whatnot... i really wish to join this contest, but i still haven't got a clue on how to start/write it.. I chose the song Everybody's Fool by Evanescence, it's one of my fave songs and i love Evanescence!

      School does keep one busy and I understand. That's actually one of the reasons I extended the dead line. I wish you luck in the contest! =)

  • Wow I love your song choices! I'm feeling really uninspired at the moment though. So I'm going to give it a go, but may end up just giving up!
