DEPRESSING POEM CONTEST

Okay, first of all, I KNOW that I am posting on a Wednesday. But, my friend wanted this posted ASAP, so whatever.

So, today, in English, our assignment was to write a poem in the “mind” of an inanimate object.

Me and my friend decided to have a contest: whoever could write the most depressing/disturbing poem would win. So, we wrote the poems and, after class, asked a few people what they thought, who ended up answering, with different opinions. And then, I (in all my brilliance), came up with the idea to post it on my blog and ask my readers what THEY think. She agreed, so, here are our poems:

Self-Demeaning Piece of Notebook Paper

 

I hate myself

When the pencil scrapes me, he says

all different things

I am sad,

depressed,

small,

and unworthy

My lines are fading,

and I rough,

not soft

I am a notebook page and,

I hate myself

I hope death will come soon

I will make it happen

I hate myself

The Garden Gnome

Cold as ice and alone as death,

I sit and watch,

watch,

watch

As the frivolous children run around,

I watch,

watch,

watch

I cry out, ashamed,

but it’s always the same

No passersby come or calls out my name

Cold as ice and alone as death,

I sit and watch,

watch,

watch

O.o

Okay… You have to admit, those were both creepy…

If you were terrified or will now have nightmares, SORRY about that…

But, I DID say they were disturbing, so there you go…

Anyways, PLEASEZ and THANKZ vote on which one YOU think is more disturbing/creepy/depressing/gave you more of a chill/whatever, down in the comments below. My friend and I would LOVE to know who’s poem is darker.

PICK ME! PICK ME! Or her… (but which one’s which?…)

Check back Saturday for the results plus a new post!
