My World

My world is a radiant caramel dewdrop, amidst the blissful blades of chocolate grass that flourish like an expert sabre, waiting to sever me from bleak reality and the coldest of darknesses. My world is the battlefield of imagining, waged between the disembodied armies of beautiful youth and frantic existence. My world is an upside-down fairy tale, where the princesses are sovereign and joyous, but soon locked away by charming princes. Where the absent shoe is found at a ball and is never worn again. My world is a creation of innocence, with generous fountains of exuberance, and a statues built after words unsaid. My world is the autocracy of rapture. I am king, hear me roar. The invisibles and the less-importants are tacitly knocking against the door of my nougat castle, intruders! Arm the guards! Foot the gates! Let it be known that my world shall not fall to mere accusations of "autistic" and "challenged"! I am king! Hear me roar!

For Poetry class. We had to write a poem with a twist, foreshadowed by imagery. I love the images in this poem.
