Poetry contest. Twenty word minimum. First place will be decided based on the poem, of course, though the number of comments posted by others will be factored in (critiques or praise, no one word or three word quickies) and those who comment should "like" it to keep the judges looking for updated reads. Write a poem about anything. Aim for the gut. Winner gets $100.

Sweet Dreams

I had a life long dream

That never came true.

I started to give up on life

And wished for it too.

Nothing ever happened

But I knew I had the control.

So I started making a plan

A plan that would hold.

So tonight will be the night

'Cause I don't want tomorrow.

I lived through it all

There's no need for this sorrow.

I said goodbye to all my friends

Even wrote letters to them.

Gave away all my possessions

Hoping this will be the end.

My heart is cut my deeper

Much deeper than my wrists.

There is no way it could get better

Get better than a tactic like this.

So now I must sleep

And rest in peace.

Goodnight to you

You'll miss me the least.
