Compete!

The human experience, can only give so much to writer's block,
Maybe it's something you shouldn't knock....
I love being given prompts,
As a challenge to express my style and story in their prompts.
And the feeling of winning a competition (although the goal is just to have fun),
Is not something that's overdone.
 
It is my favorite thing about the site,
More encouragement to write.
Though I have my own adventures and life events,
The more competitions you enter, the more people see your page, and the more encouraging comments.
Who wouldn't want to fit their experiences into a very specific story/situation and show off their style, their thoughts on subjects, and their comments?
 
It's like a conversation, and you're being asked questions about how you feel on certain topics,
You could give the pros and cons of topics,
Show your support for a cause/oppressed group,
Your spiritual beliefs, the meaning of life, or your hatred for a nincompoop.
 
Why does it bother you?
How does it affect you?
Am I you?
No, I am not,
Does it make you any less of a poet when I choose to compete? No it does not!
 
Maybe it's because you're not up to a challenge?
Maybe it's because you can't take the plunge
Into writing for more than just yourself,
You're as fragile as a piece of Delph...grey, muted, Delph.
 
I say, COMPETE!
Show everyone how you feel on a topic, passionate!
Do it for yourself, do it for others!
Their own fun, each and every naysayer smothers!
