I opened a Cadbury's Creme Egg the other day and dropped it. It rolled into a drain. It was awful.

That's quite an experimental poem isn't it?

Are we allowed a preview?

 Was this referring to my entry? If so, sure I'll be glad to share it.

 Haha I totally mis-read this! I thought you said "That's quiet an experimental porn isn't it?" Guess you can tell what kind of mind I'm in tonight! Haha!

I made a cup of tea and didn't realise the milk was off until I'd poured it in. It was a Sunday afternoon and the shop was closed.

Actually something rather special happened to me today and sorry Anet, but your good news rather pales in comparison: I went into The Works and they had the complete Sookie Stackhouse boxset of books for £15... Oh yeah!

Hmmm, so I've gone and got myself £5000 in debt when I could have achieved superior happiness with just £15?  Wish you'd tipped me off sooner.

It would appear this thread has mutated from gloomy poetry to gloomy anecdotes, so here's my contribution:

Forgot to go to sleep last night, and feel like total crap now.

how can you forget to go to sleep? Do you have really bad memory or was your clock set on PM instead of AM so you went about your normal business just thinking it was a dark day :P I'd share my gloomy tales but they're not so much 'gloomy' as completely depressing and I would probably just bum people out

OK then, here it is:

Falling

I am falling
down, down into the nothingness that is my life.
What used to be fun is not.
What is fun? I can't remember.
How it used to be I am not sure.
What is happening to me
Inside where I feel everything?

My heart is hard and filled with hate
My soul has stopped searching
For what I used to be.
I fight the truth,
And side with the lies that dominate my life.
I do not feel sorry or guilty anymore
About telling them.

I am no more
What I used to be.
I am the devil in disguise.
I have forgotten what is right and what is wrong.
Or I just don't care anymore.

You must understand
That I am a different person,
Not the one you knew,
No, I am changed
For the better or the worse I cannot tell.

This depression drags me down, down
Into the depths of insanity.
And I am falling
Falling far from everything that was.

Constant fighting is tearing me apart.
I am two-sided
One is good, the other evil.
The good side tries hard to conquer the bad,
But it is fighting a losing battle,
Because I am falling.

I am alone.

 Just one of those strange nights that leads you to random people and places, and before you know it you've missed bedtime.

I DIDN'T WIN!!!

...But I got a "Feeling Gloomy / Do You Remember the First Time?" T-shirt, which may well turn out to be neat.

Is the winner on the boards?

Guess I'll be at Foyle's on Monday then. Is there going to be a Bar Italia contingent? ("Just put yer hands up...")

I liked your poem but it was so gloomy I couldn't think of an appropriate comment! Sorry...
