-And We Don't Feel So Alive

Okay, I haven't seen any dark poetry contests up in a while and that is what I enjoy reading most often.

I want the best ONE of your loneliness; assault, depression, rape, confusion, mis-understandings, forgotten stories, etc.
The only catch- is don't give me any heartbreak about relationships. It can be part of the poem- but I don't want any poems circling around it. Alright?

Let me have it. Make it powerful, make me remember it.

DISCLAIMER:
If I delete your poem please don't take it personally; it was probably good but not the best and I need to make room for more to have the chance at best.

Thanks

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on November 8
  • Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 1 people
  • Final notes:
    This had some powerful entries- because there were many poems with spelling and punctuation flow errors, I decided to stop judging on that. So those who won simply had an image or emotion, a storyline, that impressed me more-so than the other entries.
    But I repeat- every entry listed in this contest held unique intrigue and was well done.
    Thank you all for participating!
