Words: Statue, Sliver, Sunset and Society 
==1st position: Chiron66 (Caleb) with 7 upvotes==
Trapped in society
Filled with anxiety
Silver medal
Second place
I live a life that's dull 
And undeniably 
I'm unloved quite reliably
Always coming second best
Doesn't anyone see me
Hiding in the corner
Don't you hear my plea
No more cold shoulders
Only beauty I see
Rests in the sunset
None in the mirror
There will never be a statue
Not of me
'Cause I am forgotten and unseen
Resting in second place
Hidden by a case
'Cause I seem
To be unseen
Don't you see me?

The sunset engulfed the cliff I stood on. 'Such a beautiful day,' I thought to myself. 'But a sad one.' The war had finally ended, but at a price. The queen, the woman I was to be married to today, threw herself in front of a sword to save me, the only one that could end the battle. And I did. For her. A statue was being built in her honour. It would show the moment she died, kneeling on the blood-soaked floor. However, she would have a smile on her face, and wings protruding from her back. Like an angel. She was an angel, and always will be. Still, it was cruel. Society is cruel. They have to honour her in such a public way, so I have to see her every day, in her final moments. I stared at the final gift she gave to me. A silver band that reached around my left ring finger. She proposed to me just before the war began. I can't even remember the words she used to describe me on that night. It was something about giving her confidence, being a perfect partner. A single tear made its way down my face. 
"Young lady, you can't be here. The cliff is dangerous." A man's voice said to me. I turned my head to see who was talking to me, as if it mattered. The man seemed to be around my age, early twenties, likely to have fought in the war, since he had a huge scar marring his face. "Oh. General Parks, I'm so sorry. I did not realise it was you," he stuttered out. "Leave me alone," was all I said to him. He sat down next to me, careful to stay away from the edge. "I know that losing your fiancé must be hard on you, General. Especially since she was the only person to accept you. But you must try to move on. I'll admit, I've always thought you are very beau-" I cut him off. "You do realise I'm gay, right?" He replied, "I know its foolish of me trying to flirt with you, but it doesn't hurt to try something foolish once in a while, right?" I sighed and shook my head. "Who even are you?" I questioned him. "I'm Jack. Jack Collins," He put his hand out, but I refused to shake it. "Well, Jack, I would reccomend staying away from me, since I don't take kindly to people flirting with me." I told him. He refused to leave, send instead replied with a smile, "Can we be friends?" I stared at him, obviously surprised. "I promise I won't flirt with you or try to ask you out, I just really admire you. And possibly, friendship could be what heals you broken heart," he rambled. "Its worth a try, so sure," I sighed in defeat. He dragged me to my feet and started walking towards the centre of the city, not caring if I want we to go or not. I noticed that he refused to let go of my hand. 'Maybe this won't be so bad,' I thought to myself, 'maybe he's not so bad.'

Realising The Wrongs
While walking down 
The road in the sunset
I thought to myself
About the society and it's believes
In the silver moonlight
I thought about the ways 
These believes can
Be changed for good
It was strange that 
A country would spend
Millions and billions 
On a statue 
Which is made 
By destroying the nature
And leaving thousands
Of the four-legged homeless
Why not instead 
Use those millions and billions 
To build a better world
And help everyone
Live a happy and peaceful life
