New Contest!!!!

I have an idea...

This poem is a free write(no topics) and it has to be about abusing drugs...no alcohol just drugs...but heres the catch...it has to be either a prescription drug(addicted to pain killers ex. tylenol) or an ingredient in the drug(ex. Lithium is used to make dipolar medication)

Rules

1. Must be about a LEGAL drug overdose
2. New or Old but has a better chance of winning if its new
3. Deadline is January 1st!
4.MUST RHYME!!!

I know christmas holidays are coming and will be busy but its almost a month to do this...

get writin!

I'll have a shot at it. :)

I've never taken part in a contest on here before. Once the poem is written do we just post it in here?

yep...kinda surprised at the quick response lol...1 minute! lol

Can we reserve, or is there no limit to how many people enter.
This looks difficult but i'd like to give it a go =)

Wondering the same thing as Gemma. (:

-Jenna.

Umm...theres is no lines to reserve for...

OH WAIT!!! i think i get it!...u think of a drug and tell me which ur doing

umm

u can if u want and no it doesnt matter how many ppl join...just...whoever hasnt finished by the 1st doesnt count

ok, heres one called addicted
its about morphine. i got the idea from To Kill a Mockingbird, and the old woman in it who tries to quit it

I'll cut like a knife
I'll ruin your life
I'll lose all your friends
and I'll win in the end

I'll shoot through your veins
I'll drive you insane
I'll poison your breath
and I'll love you to death

I'll laugh when your up there
and you'll cry when your down
though your screams break the silence

they don't make a sound

ok...i'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but it's worth a shot.

~*~"Please Come Over Here..."~*~

Please come over here
Come try a sip of me
Soon you'll be happy
Soon you'll be free

I promise you won't feel your pain
You won't feel your doubt
I swear it, and you will realize
That this is one way out

Please come over here
Just try a bit of this
Just take a smoke, a puff of me
It's something you won't want to miss

I will be your pleasure
I'll be the one who cares
The one you can turn to
I will always be there

Please come over here
And drag me across your skin
I promise I will make you calm
I promise you will win

I will be your comfort
I will be your guide
The only problem is
The scars you have to hide

When you use every one
You will have us all
We promise we won't hurt you
We won't make you fall

Do you see the lies
All the lies in this life?
Drugs, crack, pot, smokes
All leading to the knife

Don't let them suck you in
Don't let yourself be used
Because in the end
You will be the one abused

It has to be about a legal drug overdose? So that's a no to crack then? lol

Obsessions [Sijo]
by ѕ¢αяℓєт.ℓιρѕ ♥

Piles of pills lay on hard floors, obsessions she cannot fight
Gaining satisfaction from pain, fighting against a strong body
Gazing into a hole of dark, my death I avoided tonight..

` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `
Sijo is a poetry type consisting of 3 lines. Each line contains 14-16 syllables each.

A pause breaks each line in the middle. The last half of the final line is usually shorter than the rest, and contains no fewer than 5 syllables.

The first line introduces a problem, the second develops it, and the third is a resolution. Sijo is a type of poetry that is meant to be sung.

` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `

A perscription changed.

A prescription changed,
500 megs instead of 2 (00)
She lied. She Lied.
She lied to, and decieved you.

The pain remains,
Only now in her head.
it hurts, it hurts
It still hurts is what she said.

Dozens of empty bottles,
Lay scattered on the floor.
She needs, She needs.
She desperatly needs more.

One too many pills,
She popped with some gin.
her heart. Her Heart.
Her heart stopped beating within.

jsut wrote it. Man, i'm on a roll. i should take some more of my boyrfriend's depression/anxiety pills more often.. they get me in a poem writin' mood. xD Juuss kiddin!

Okay, here's mine.

Little Cup of Death
by HiddenxSoul

You said you were suffering in pain
And I blatantly just ignored it
I was upset at your agony
But simply refused to admit

I hated seeing you suffering
That horror in your pleading eyes
So I muted your terror-filled calls at night
And turned up the music to drown the cries

Then one morning I knocked on your door
And you simply didn’t open up
So I slowly pushed the door out wide
To find a clear plain plastic cup

Lying on the floor, I presumed it had fallen
So I picked it up and something caught my eye
Five small white pills lying next to your bed
And I realised you had said “goodbye”

I rushed over to your cold body
And aimlessly began to loudly call
Your name in a cloud of unheard pleas
But my words were lost in that box of Tylenol

I cried a hoard of violent sobs
And hugged your body tight
How could I live without you near
When the skies got dark at night?

This is the outcome of ignoring a friend
Who is in trouble and pain right before you
To solve their problems they take a few pills
And leave you broken and torn right through

my poem... it's about all of them. each stanza is a different kind of drug/self-mutilation device

Oo i like that one hidden:P...i think ive seen it b4 is or new or no...i could be wrong...if ive seen it i think it was like..a couple months ago

Ha, you couldn't have seen it before, since it was only written two days ago. =P

Maybe something similar? *shrugs*

hmph..proven wrong AGAIN! lmao...

possibly

cmon ppl start posting

ok.... so (haha), i did pain killers and then read the first post again, and that was one of the examples.well, yea, i did pain killers (as previously stated), but i dont have a specific one i wrote about

Fatal Denial

Help me with my migraine
I ask of you, my dear
And aid that treacherous pain
How I wish that it would heal!

My migraine is now over
And the pain has dissappeared
But I still need a little bit more of you
Pain is coming back, I fear

My mind is running all around
My thoughts are going crazy
I'll pop a few more of you back
I need you so insanely

I can feel my pulse so fast
It only somewhat scares me
I want something to calm it down
You're the only thing I need!
-----
Now here I am in this hospital bed
IV's hooked up to my arm
How could you have done this friend?
You've caused me so much harm
