EXAMPLE:
Watching

I watched a normal woman once
she seemed stressed, tired, and distant
Drop off the kids, with no time to say
I love, stay safe at school

She sped away in a new SUV
No rhyme or reason about her life
Busying her day with work, and stress
worrying about the time

But when her day was over,
the kids safe and sound in bed,
she went to her loving husband saying
"Thank you for choosing me"

That's when I knew that no matter
what life throughs out at you
At the end of the day, what matters most
is the time that's spent in happiness

Whts the deadline?

No Deadline yet.

I love this idea. :) I'll definitely try to write one.

A Day in the Life of Cancer Boy
by dollwithafrown

Young boy sitting small
in the corner of the room,
paper skin and ruby eyes
tell of a life that'll end too soon.
Breakfast time, always the worst;
the porridge looks like shit!
You're not allowed to leave 'til 10,
so all you can do is sit.

Daddy doesn't arrive
at lunchtime anymore;
seeing you frail and broken
became too hard a chore.
You feel like Mummy's forgotton
she has a little boy,
Little Brother's taken over
as the son who brings her joy.

By dinner time you're puking;
chemo making you sick again.
Will this sad song ever end?
You lay on your bed and wonder when.
I visit before bedtime
with a few words to say
and see a smile on your face
for the first time that day.

I tuck you in real quickly,
but the nurse ushers me away,
and I kneel down beside my bed,
clasp my hands and pray.
"Please God, bring him laughter,
he needs a life he can enjoy."
and I go to sleep dreaming
of my favourite cancer boy.

Ima try and write one :)

Fictionally, I imagine the thoughts of someone I care about... thinking of me.

Kissing My Breath

You wouldn't understand
anything I say or do
because I don't feel alright
when I'm forced near you.

You cannot ever realize
the fear I go through
trying to laugh, crack a joke
feel your arm.

You run from me.
Turn away,
I could make you smile
and disappear.

Freeze into a mannequin,
empty, soul-less
without you the world collapses
into an ocean of blurry faces.

I try to make you smile,
but you run from me.
I head to my classes,
and you don't even look up.

Spend two hours every day
at your side, am ignored, mistreated,
and yet I feel good when I'm with you.
A drug, an intoxication, FREEZE

Into a mannequin as I walk away,
leaving my soul behind, hoping
you'll pick up the pieces I've left
and run forwards instead of back.

I pass room 27
my class
and melt into the walls.
Nobody finds the lost.

Secret Life of the Normal Teenager

She wakes up every morning,
praying something might go well,
might give her a single chance.
She fights through morning blues.

You don't even know her name.

She waits at the corner for the bus,
toes digging into her worn shoes.
Hair thrown over her blue eyes,
eyeliner smeared underneath.

You can't see her pain.

Cat calls and rude names fly by,
holding back unintended tears.
Singing in choir, sleeping in biology,
making her way through a normal day.

She doesn't know how her life's about to change.

She rushes from her French class,
flying down the halls, hand over mouth.
Making it to the bathroom just in time,
cold porcelain supporting her cheek.

You can't see her secret.

She goes home, expecting the worst.
At the age of fifteen, she isn't ready.
A mistake, a party she can't remember--
a life she didn't mean to create.

She isn't ready.

Try to keep it about about a person

Title: Angel Of Heartbreaks Daily Life
Written By: FeignOctober

A beauty that basks in the suns fluorescent rays
She hasn't noticed me watching her all these days
A good Christian who reads the bible every night
She lost that special person who made the wrongs right

Her eyes seem so sad when they look right through
Such a harsh face for someone who still has her youth
I wish I could walk up to her and kiss her on the nose
Or present the girl with a guy that holds a tender rose

Those mornings when she starts to cry and hangs her head low
It's an agony to see her and to know that she doesn't even know
To stare into those eyes makes a sadness engulf my empty being
I'm her angel of a husband that she never lost but won't be seeing.

I hope this is alright. I used my imagination. The Husband who watches over his wife. His portray of her daily life without him.

These are really good

Anybody else interested?

I'm interested. I will get right on it!

By the way, will the deadline be soon or not decided yet?

I'm in

The Door Home

Looking over the moon
An old man sees his fate
He knows he'll go soon
Not too long to wait

Deep into the night
A visitor lights the fire
The man awakens to newfound light
Keep to life is his desire

The ship now empty
Never to be brought a shore
The old man, no longer be
He walked into Death's door

Live

She's silent here
After a year full of words
One more day
As she pushed towards the fall
Wake Up, Get Dressed, Survive

A massive house
Flooded with ghosts of memories
Long enough now
For others to forget what she wouldn't
Eat Lunch, Read Books, Survive

Just another day
Without hearing from old friends
Car hasn't run
From the minute she made it home
Sit Outside, Walk Around, Survive

Can't take it
So she'll have to start over
Today's the day
To get away from old lies
Start Engine, Drive Away, LIVE

Finger Painting

Kneeling on a brown stool, slouching slightly,
Apple red curls bouncing off her blue dress.
Deep green eyes jaunty, a heart so genial,
Her tiny hands gingerly painting a masterpiece.

Two fingers orange, three fingers purple,
Creating divergent lines on cream paper.
Glancing up to catch her teacher's eye,
She receives a heartfelt smile of wonder.

More fingers swim gleefully in the rainbow sea,
Then find their way hastily back to dry land.
Adding elaborate patterns one by one,
Paint splashing and veering left and right.

A lively laugh echoes through the classroom,
Enlightening every ear that happens to hear it.
For nothing could measure the amount of fun,
She was experiencing through finger painting.

Hands sticky, and face smeared with green paint,
A satisfied sigh escapes from her shining lips.
Wishing for the clock to just sit and stop,
But alas, good times must come to an end.

"A job well done," her teacher calls out,
"What exuberant colors and creativity!"
The little girl's heart soars many feet above,
As she leaves her table, her head up high.
