Alright, it seems like people are excited for this. It’s time for the first poetry competition. After careful consideration I’ve decided to go against the general opinion and make it a 2 week contest starting in the other week than the Art competition but the days will be the same.
You have until 2020-01-24T20:00:00Z to enter and then we will have a poll open for 1 day only where people can vote on! I’ve learned that keeping it open much longer doesn’t bring in many more votes.

The requirements for this competition is in my opinion pretty difficult, short poetry, maximally 5 lines! Besides that you are free to do whatever you want.

You will get a post on Instagram and I will get Shannii to make a badge which we will reward to the winner!

First entry

I’ve been trying to make right what’s been wrong,
you’ve been trying to make wrong what’s been right.
And everything just seemed so senseless at times.

Second entry

I wanna stand out of the crowd, but still be in it.
I wanna go with the flow, but on a highway.
I’m trying to be perfect, trying to be plain.
Trying to be different, trying to fit in.
Trying to be worth it.

My entry

Sometimes I still want to run

Far, Far away toward the sun

And feel the wind run through my hair

Sometimes I still want to run

And let all of my hardships, let them be done

I’m flying high,
I’m running free,
I’m being more than i thought I’d ever be,
so come and ride,
ride with me

Entry one

Entry One
I’m running fast,
Faster then the ocean sea
I’m running fast,
And free.

Entry Two

Entry Two
If you haven’t noticed the scars on my hips
Or the fake smile on my lips,
Then just go talk behind my back
None of it matters,
None is true.

1st Entry

The beauty of life – it’s both good and bad.
It’s like a coin with two sides, copper-clad.
Sometimes it’s good - selfless and generous.
Sometimes it’s bad - merciless and envious.

2nd Entry

The flag of pride represents,
A sea of beautiful diversity.
Lesbian, Gay, Transgender, Bisexual.
So, no longer denying the truth,
That I, am asexual.

Entry 3

Too many steps in the wrong direction
Running just to find protections.
My mind fall of memories
Like a collection
Wrong choices, the wrong selection.

1st entry

Let’s go run all the way to
A place where I can be me,
And you can be you
Where we can swim and never drown
Because of someone dragging us down

2nd entry

There once was a boy named Clair
Who had very long hair
His friends would say
That he could be gay
So he just turns and stares

3rd entry

Oh they’re not like the others
Doesn’t have light skin
Doesn’t like girls, or boys, or none

Your poem is really good, but last time I checked it has to be less than six lines…

I’d love to join, I’ll add on 2 more entries in the upcoming days

Entry 1

The sky is dark blue
The road ahead looks at you
It’s long and witty
Think of the possibilities
Where am I going
I don’t understand what the world is showing
The thoughts in my head keep rambling on
Along with the voices, their singing songs!
I don’t understand what happening
Maybe I’m just imagining

I feel lonely
My friends call
I decline
What’s wrong with me?!

It’s like I’m stuck on this road
With no where to go
It keeps going like it’s infinite
And there’s nothing to distract from it
I don’t know what this message is
But please send help
I don’t want to be stuck in this undying hell

I can’t predict if I’ll stop
But I know I’ll keep going
Maybe my brain will start functioning
I’m looking around and can’t seem to find a junction
The voices are getting louder!
They’re saying I’m not aloud
Not aloud to walk away
From this place you call ‘Heaven’
I need you to send help
If anybody gets this

The sky is dark blue
The road ahead looks at you
It’s long and witty
Think of the possibilities
Where am I going
I don’t understand what the world is showing me
The world. Went. Black.
