This contest is about the strength (or lack of) of friendship.
you may write about:
1. a friend that has let you down in some way
2. watching a friend kill themselves slowly using drugs, alcohol, their own minds, etc.
3. a moment that you have witnessed where a friend (yours or someone else's) has saved someone from self destruction
I do not want a poem about how much you love your best friend. if i wanted that, i might as well have a contest about puppies because it would have the same sickening effect on me ( i am not an emotional "give me a kiss" type of person...thank God)
Rules:
1. No more than 50 lines please
2. the poem doesn't need to rhyme in any way, shape, or form, but it may help in the end
3. no pre-writes please (and thank you)
*if you have a question about a pre-write im me
