ok, so this is my first contest. i'm a bitch, so follow my rules or you won't even be considered.
the contest is SHOW ME YOUR DEMONS i'm not talking about "i cut myself because nobody loves me/it's so hard living in a house in the suberbs while people are dying on the streets..." and all that pathetic bullshit. you post it - i'll kill you. got it?
good.
write to me about a painful experience. This DOES NOT have to be a personal experience, you can make it up if you'd like. oh yeah, and cutting is FINE to write about, just not the generic-no-talent-puck form. i hate that.
1 Cutting
2 Miscarriage
3 death
4 being alone
5 Rape
6 Abuse
7 Suicide - write about the seconds before you pull the trigger,
the fall from the cliff before you hit the ground.
8 Anorexia/bulimia
9 Insomnia
10 losing your sanity
those are examples - if you have another idea just write it out in comments and i'll contact you. examples in bold are the ones i would perfer you write about - thus, they will earn you brownie points.
i would really prefer you write in an imagry style. write like you would see, feel, hear, taste. if you can't write like that - you need not apply.
the rules are as follows:
nO fReAkIn StIcKy CaPs or i'll KILL YOU!!! you might think, "she can't find me - she doesn't know where i live." i'll find you. Save me the trouble and the jail time; don't DO THAT!
none of that "i hate my life/so i took some pills/no one loves me"
put the number you chose and the phrase "i live at the end of a 5 1/2 minute hallway" in your authors box so that i know you've read the rules.
don't cuss every other word. cursing's great and all, just not more than what's neccisary. Ex of the wrong way: "fuck this shit, man. you're such a fucking asshole, bitch." that's not poetry in my book.
PLEASE try to spell. i'm not the grammer nazi - just.. TRY!
and the idea of this contest is DESPAIR!!!! i want no "light at the end of the tunnel" shit. just your deepest black.
to be considered you have to comment on one of my poems (one of the newest 4) and one of someone elses in the contest. The comment can't be one line, either (nice try) 5 lines minimum.
good luck!

Hey I really love your contest! You have quite a range of depressing poems allowed so as not to bore people...I was intrigued and read every entry to your poem. You really had good topics!
