Weekly Short Stories Contest and Company! discussion

Oh. Crap. I meant that comment for this section. Not the story section. :/ Well, yay! Got an idea!

How sad. :( But GREAT! I especially love the first paragraph.

Wow that's awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

Torment
Rachel

A weight falls heavily upon me -
A steady pull inside my brain.
In one room I seek love and understanding -
In another I purge the guilt and pain.
My guilt never leaves.
The pain only deepens.
My life is a wild rotation from one room to the other,
Locked in a ceaseless circle of torment -
A game of chess I cannot win.
I stand up, throat on fire, head spinning, heart pounding;
Begging for an end, any end, to this hell.
I gaze into the mirror, wiping my mouth,
Wondering who I have become;
A drawn and pale face, dull, expressionless eyes.
I run my hands through my hair
Hoping it will quiet the screams in my head -
But it doesn't, and tomorrow the game will start again.

And no, I am not and have never been balenic....

Balenic...it's when you make yourself throw up after you eat so you lose weight...it's an eating disorder...and that's what the poem was about....

And thanks ^_^

Wow guys! Great job! I probably won't enter this week 'cause I'm busy with camp.

Rachel, I love your poem! Your writing always creates vivid pictures for me. Not bad ones, mind you. ;] And did you mean bulimic? But, anyway, nice job!

Er yeah bulimic...*facepalm* I'm stupid....


And thanks Hanzle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ♥

:D You're welcome, Rachel! I couldn't think of a poem to write. :( I had an idea, but I lost it. :(

Awww, I hate when that happens!!!!!!

*hums Don't Jump* That's the perfect song for this contest...look it up, it's such an amazing song...by Tokio Hotel, fyi

I scream into the night for you
Don't make it true
Don't jump
The lights will not guide you through
They're deceiving you
Don't jump
Don't let memories go
Of me and you
...Please don't jump.....

Not Suitable for Children
by Mic

“‘I do not like green eggs and ham.
I do not like them Sam-I-am.’

“I do not want them to be here,
so go and shove them up your rear.

“I’d rather eat your sickly mouse
or just burn down your shambly house.

“That fox looks rabid with his grin.
That box I never will go in!

“You know, Sammy, you’re not so bright.
This won’t increase my appetite.

“There are no seatbelts in this car;
this book from children should be far!

“Watch where you drive, you’ll hit that tree!
Now we’re atop it—how can this be?

“Up in the boughs I have the frights—
I do not like such awful heights!

“That train beneath speeds right along;
Drive onto that—we’re dead, ding-dong!

“Into a tunnel with no light;
we’ll probably crash—what a plight!

“Your eyes gleam evilly in the dark;
a leer reveals your madness stark.

“Out of the tunnel, rain falls like ice.
You’re eyeing that steak fork with malice.

“Where’d you get that goat? I say!
Those horns look sharp; I want away!

“The engineer smiles; we fly off the tracks.
We fall on a boat that breaks all our backs.

“And there you are waiting, ready to strike.
In the water we land, in your hand a spike.

“Why can’t you just finally let me be?
Sam-I-am, why torment me?”

:o

haha thanks al ;]
