For this competition I want you to tell me what in this Kalon's life has brought about a positive change, even if the road traveled wasn't so pleasant. The catch? You have to tell it to me in a poem. This poem can be in any style or verse so long as it is a poem [I will be awarding extra points/heavily bias entries that have at least a noticeable about of rhyming in their poems, though this is not required].

The poem has no word limit and you have an additional 50 words to do with as you please outside of the poem. You are allowed one extra which may be either 1,000 more words or one art piece [may not be a comic or animation].

This competition will be fairly short and shall end on June 10th at 8 PM EST.
Click here to see how much time you have left! Please be advised that this end date is final and any editing after the competition closes [weather I post saying closed or not] will disqualify you.

If you have any questions please PM me including "1,400" somewhere in the subject so it is sorted properly.

i was living in a cage
not a cage of bars,
but a cage of the mind
one that prevented me
from ever waking up
to face the dawn streaming
through my window
i was living in a
permanent state
of not caring,
not hoping,
never wondering what
was going to come next.

and now? i am standing here,
in the glittering velvet midnight,
that wraps around your world,
and i am watching.
watching the earth
my earth
as it gently lets its eyelashes
fall upon its cheeks
like a butterfly's wings.
i see the people
huddle together like flocks of sheep
to chase away the fear
of dying alone.
but i do not see myself
in these mortals
i only see myself when i look in
a crystal pool of glass
and see my solemn face glare back at me

i do not love anyone.
i put that part of me away,
folded neatly in a drawer
at the back of my mind
years ago
it was about the time
i was taken in
captured from the streets
like a wild animal that got loose
and locked in a cage
the size of a cardboard box.
and with that cage's walls around me
i put up walls in my mind as well.
i didn't allow my heart
to accept love
hope
or gratitude
which made my cold life
all the more colder

maybe someday i can accept the fact that
being warm is good
but for now, i sit here
quietly watching
the earth
as a spark
lights itself in my heart
maybe one day that spark will grow into a fire
and i can finally
love

but for now, my past
has blocked that drawer from opening
and not matter how much
i push
and pull
it doesn't budge
so i will leave it alone.
too many memories
of cells and shocks and cuffs
might spill out of that drawer
leaving me
immobilized
in the past instead of
moving
towards the future

i can't imagine my life
before i discovered earth
i barely remember my younger days,
where i was raised without a mother
and with silicone gloves and masks
and my brain wasn't big enough to think of the future
and then my middle days,
where all i thought about was the future,
of freedom from the tests
and the poking
and prodding
and then, when i grew older,
i lost hope.
it slipped out of my grasp,
as if it were a bird that wanted to be free
and i was the cage
i tried to save it,
but i couldn't.
it was too hard for me to imagine
something other than my entire life
which is when i shut myself down
i became docile and willing,
not fighting back any longer
and hope, after seeing this,
grew even farther away from me
because hope
is a struggle
a battle
and if i wasn't trying,
how was i supposed to be hoping?
but the light at the end of a tunnel
was a sunrirs

just a single sunrise, painting the sky
orange and
yellow
and pale blue
streaming through the tiny window of my cage
i saw that, but not really
for my mind was shut down
but when i gazed upon it,
something was turned on
a switch perhaps, or maybe a button
and then
i saw it

someone picked his flowers
another one picked the petals and leaves off of them until he was barren
they still had the audacity to say
'i think you still look beautiful'
to his face

but to this day
hes walking on
his petals turning slowly towards the sun

"His name was Julian Delaria, The third God of Riverside..."

╔═══════════════════════════╗
To darkness he wake, no light to guide,
He travelled way forth, in the gloom he lied,
For he was lonely, tongue tied, not a friend at his side.

His two friends, they had gone, roaming freely above,
Making more family than not, like a loving turtledove,
No clue to the secret to living below,
though his hope, he was soon to join the show.

To form was difficult, no clue to how it worked,
his hope getting low, his attempts to be reworked,
Eventually though, having little to no success,
there he was made, ready to impress.

His form led nature, glowing like spring,
just as elegant as flower's king,
He was a royal, being the favoured God,
at his feet they all clawed.

He brought flowers and life, and an array of gems,
It was he who gifted them,
The God of nature, a god of spring,
Every living thing, to them he would sing.

The world of Riverside, for it had a change,
For the positivity it brought, it wasn't that strange,
The world was alive,
And for years it would thrive.

The God, his name; Julian Delaria,
leading the world to live in Wistaria.
Sparkling bright, like the light of day,
in this world, awhile, he would stay.

Improving himself and the world around,
to this earth, his soul was bound,
crafting smiles of his followers, proud,
to show him gratitude, they all bowed.

Giving back what they had took,
no part of this world they would overlook,
This would was there home, they treating right,
they hoped it would stay a beautiful sight.

For the nature God was grateful,
To his followers he was faithful,
Having hope it would stay so bright,
watching his world over in the moonlight.

" feronia " female " a lost lover "


i have a dream:
a dream of my heart.
one that simply says,
"until death do we part."

but when i am gone,
and the lights fade to grey,
i know that i'll see you again,
one day.

the sun will still set,
and our seperate ways we must go,
but there's an ache that will tell me
"our love's in the stars," and that's so.

you crystallised my every thought,
like the rocks that jut from my skin:
the pain is forever welcoming,
just as pleasure grows from sin.

but when the skies started to darken,
as did the light within your eyes.
we could feel them closing in,
that this would be our demise.

the words that you spoke will haunt me forever:
“we’re both on a journey, so come what may,”
your lids began to flicker, your voice, a breath,
“but know that i’ll love you every single day.”

“your heart and hope have guided you,
and just look now how you've grown...”
my heart had simply shattered:
and i was left all alone
