Congratulations again!

I shall start working on it!

I have a question, do we have to submit the poem after the contest starts or can it have just been submitted recently?

If you have people rate and whatnot like you spoke of above, all this is is a popularity contest. And who wants to be in a contest of that? I could tell you who wins now. =/.
It's not based on how good you are; this is based on how many friends you have. Ha.

I'm not in. I just had to remark that it is stupid because it's just a popularity contest. If they didn't have this part to the contest, I might join, but not if this part is in.

Sheena would win, lol, i too will join if you change the rules.

The rules has changed, it's not a popularity contest anymore. It's "The Most Saddest Poem" Contest. It has to be a new one.

CHILD WITHIN

She walks upon rivers of rainbowed tears
and touches the bitter cold of a frozen heart-
She sees through souless eyes and caresses
the fragmented walls of battered and broken hope-
She cries at the void of grief, infinite and dark,
that consumes what once was known and understood-
She whisperes to ears that once trusted all
but now remain deaf to her tearful pleas-
She rips at the webs of shame that bind, confine,
making a prisoner of the wandering lost-
She is the child within who seeks to be free
while she drowns in the sea of fears and loss.

She yearns to dry the rivers
and defrost her bitter heart-
To see through joyful eyes
and fan the flames of hope-
She yearns to seal the void of grief
and remember what was known-
To hear and know the truth of words
once so kindly spoke-
She yearns to break the webs of shame;
to escape her prison and fly-
To meld the child she is within
to the woman she has become.

The child within can never fly
nor dream her dreams of hope,
until the day she heals herself
and truly becomes whole

AUTHORS NOTE: This is free form and really follows no rules of flow but does conform to rhythm.
Anywho... hope you enjoy it.

Xx More Than Just A Nan xX

Nobody warned me about how I would feel
The constant pain, the tears and all the grief
It's almost unbearable to have you gone
But to know you're at peace is a relief

I didn't like to see you in so much pain
You were just waiting for your soul to succumb
I could see in your eyes that you'd had enough
Even though all those tablets made your body numb

It hurts that I wasn't there to hold your hand
And to say I loved you... just one last time
I never got to say my last goodbyes
And to see you safely on your heavenly climb

It's so painful to realise you're not coming back
That I'm never going to see you smile at me again
That fact you won't be there on my wedding day
Is just to much hurt for me to retain

Is it normal for me to feel so utterly lost?
To feel like i've lost a part of my soul?
But I know you're in a much better place now
So I'm trying my best to keep in control

Nanna, I don't know how to put into words
Just how much I loved and cared for you
For you were more than just a relative to me
You were a grandmother, a mom and a best friend too...

Abandoned Baby

Baby cries in the lonely box
He doesn't understand why
No one is feeding him
can't they hear me cry?'

Scared and lonely
He cries himself to sleep
With an empty stomach
In his dream, he will weep

Days go by, he is dying here
He waits there day and night
For someone to save him
He is losing this fight

He takes his last breath
Only in this world for a week
His parents abandoned him
They were just too weak

I wrote this about losing my boyfriend in a car accident that my best mates deliberatley caused so it was my fault. i hope it is ok.

My secret finally told

by Nikki

When I was younger,
There was this boy,
My friends told me not to see him,
Or his life they would destroy,

He was so cute,
And older by four years
I never knew my so-called friends
Would ever interfere

I did not believe them
I thought they did lie,
But that one day,
I never got to say goodbye,

Going to a party
We were driving in his car,
I never knew they would do it,
I never knew how far,

How far they would go,
To take him away,
But I never listened,
As much to their dismay,

They came up behind us,
And pushed us from the back,
They were all laughing,
Than there car changed its track,

They were driving beside us,
Road works and trucks were ahead,
They pushed us to the bushes,
And now that boy is dead,

I saw him die,
On the road works truck hanging off the end- there was a pole,
Before we hit it he said he loved me,
And finally this story will be told,

I saw the pole go through him,
That day he did die,
It killed me to see,
The light fades in his eyes,

I should have listened,
He would still be here,
And maybe that day,
He would not have disappeared,

Disappeared from my life,
Disappeared from the world,
And maybe if he was alive today,
He would still have his girl,

It is my fault he is dead,
Next time I will listen,
I hate sitting here,
Just reminiscing,

It is a reminder,
Of how my friends did betray,
It is a reminder,
Of how he did pay,

Pay for my stupidity,
I now know what I have done,
I took the boys whole life away,
But it had barely just begun.

A Broken Child, A Broken Home
Bryan

He sits here alone under his broken bed,
feeling the bruise on the back of his head.
His mom and dad are outside, yelling at each other,
he wished he had a new dad and a new mother.
His wish comes true as he sits there and hides,
his dad killed his mom, then he commits suicide.
So the boy is sent away, to a new mom and dad,
a new happy family, now he wont be so sad.
But his happiness is short, for now he finds,
that his new parents are bad, they're not so kind.
They beat on him just as his parents did before,
he hides again, begging for them to do it no more.
They yell at him all day, call him different names,
making him feel unloved, making him feel ashamed.
He tells other people, but they don't seem to care,
nobody tries to help him, there is nobody there.
He runs away from home, hoping to get away,
but the police find him walking near the end of the day.
They take him back home, to his hateful family
because nobody knows, there is nobody to see.
All that he has been through, all of the pain.
he is too scared, he doesn't know how to explain
so now he wishes he had a new mom and dad,
to take away the pain, so he wont be so sad.
His wish comes true, they write his name on a stone,
now he will stay with Jesus forever, now he is not alone.

i read a story in a newspaper and it made me cry, the boy goes from one abusive family to another until they finally go too far. so i want you to pray for every child that has to go through such abuse that maybe they will get a family that truly loves them.

Beleve

My name is Nate
and I have story to tell
my heart has been broken
my life is in hell
my mom was my life
we played and we laughed
I loved her so much
but she went away...
One day she got sick
I went to see her
but it made me sad
I went home the next day
and sat alone
but someone called on the phone
they called to inform us
my mommy had passed away
I cried like crazy
I couldnt stop
I felt like my head would pop
I finally stopped crying
but my heart is still dying
at night I still cry
because I never got to say good-bye
I dont know if she can hear me
I wish I could know
I wish I could see
my name is natecouldd
I still cant believe
my mom is dead

The Death Of Those Who Starve

Empty stomachs growl in silent quivering pain,
To steal one loaf of bread, Forever to live in vein,
Emptiness of salvation lost through children's eyes,
Crying out into the night, Hidden behind disguise,
Does death be the outcome of those who do steal,
And life being lost as another soul begins to escape,
As the destiny of children slowly begin to take shape.

Brightness is lost behind the colors of shadowed grays,
Starvation brought upon while a child lives her final days,
No money for medicine so heaven is what she will seek,
As tears fall from her eyes and land on delicate cheek,
All beauty that once was, is lost in the sorrow of pain,
And upon her demise, God opened up heavens skies,
As he cried the melody of his aching hearts song.

As she laid her tiny body upon a bed of withered dirt,
The pain she came to feel, No longer shall this child hurt,
As the tears from the lords eyes hit the world around,
A storm is placed as rain hits gently without a sound,
Innocence became lost behind a life of cruelness,
All because no one could help a child in starving need,
God has came to realize what he created lives in greed.

=To everyone who has had no money, no medicine, no food, in a time of need. To all the starving children in the world who live on without a hope, and to all the lives lost because the world was too greedy to help.=
