Those sleepless nights-
no sunlight in sight.
Those sleepless nights-
thoughts growing wild
You know those sleepless nights all too well-
'Cause you've felt their darkness...
This is a poetry collection written during the darkest hours, when sleep won't get a hold of you, when thoughts grow wild and you wish you could change the past-
Undo every mistake, take back every hurtful word. But also when the sorrow eats you whole and you wish for the darkness in your room to swallow you, erase you, make you disappear... 'Cause sometimes the world would be better off without you...sometimes, during those endless Sleepless Nights, you wish you were gone.

-these are my original work, which means that you are not allowed to copy or translate (why you'd wanna do that is a great question) without my permission.
-this is poetry from dark places of the human mind. Which means that it will touch topics as disordered eating, self harm, depression, anxiety, addiction and suicide.
(If you tend to get triggered by these topics I recommend you to read carefully and please reach out to me if you're feeling ill, I rather help than risk you suffering in silence.)
-I'll maybe edit the cover when I have time
-English isn't my first language so feel free to correct grammar and spelling:)
Happy reading or something like that🫶🏼
(Closed)
The Awards solely dedicated to Poems and Poetry return. A predecessor to 'Tears, Blood, Ink-Poetry Contest'. Encouraging new poets to display their work and seasoned writers to give us another masterpiece.
Every Word matters and every metaphor counts.
Do you believe in yourself? Because I do.
Do you dare let your ashes turn into your ink?
Because I do.
And if you do so, then consider participating.
______________________________________________
If you aren't familiar with system of my Awards,
They're different from most contests in the following ways:
1) There's no need to participate in just a particular category, you just have register into the awards and your work will be judged. Their will be multiple categories and Awards, and your work will be given an award if it is the best fitting work for that particular Award among all the entries.
2) Poetry only-These are a Poetry exclusive Awards and only Poetry is allowed to be submitted.
3) A sole judge-The entries are going to be judged by me and the final decisions are mine.
4) Not particularly fancy or so-These Awards are minimal and is something I do because I feel there aren't enough contests highlighting just poetry instead they have poetry as an individual category.
______________________________________________
Submissions open till 1st October 2025
If you feel confused about anything please read the Awards once, if it doesn't help, feel free to reach out to me, I'd be more than happy to help.
*YOUR PARTICIPATION MATTERS
