The Truth Behind the Derp

I hear Mommy and Daddy yelling at each other. Mommy and Daddy always fight. I cry and have nightmares about it, but it's better than when Mommy and Daddy tell me how much they hate me. Mommy and Daddy only agree on one thing, and that's me being completely imperfect and a stupid waste of time.

School is even worse. I get made fun of because I'm a blank flank. That, and everypony calls me stupid, even Miss Lemon Sour. I wish I was in Miss Cheerilee's class. Everypony in her class seems just so happy. I wish I was happy.

Miss Lemon Sour always tells the class how bad my grades are. She tells the class to laugh at me. I wish I could cry sometimes, but crying is against the rules, and I don't want to be punished. One time this kid spoke without being called on, and Miss Lemon Sour forced her to answer every question and if she got it incorrect, she was slapped. Miss Lemon Sour doesn't understand how hard I try to get good grades. If she does, she doesn't care.

I wish I could tell Mommy and Daddy about my problems. They don't care though, in fact they'd probably encourage Miss Lemon Sour to torture me even more. Mommy and Daddy stop yelling at each other, and start talking. I don't really pay attention, why would I want to hear about how terrible I am, or endless fighting.

Suddenly, I heard Mommy walk in to the room with a fake smile on her face. A fake smile's better then nothing. I'm still terrified though, my mom hasn't ever said or done anything nice to me. Then I hear something I never thought I would hear out of Mommy's mouth. "Dinky we're going on a walk"

I didn't know how to respond. I can't object, or Mommy will call me a selfless brat. Mommy says I should be grateful for anything and accept it with great thanks. Stuttering I say "Ok, Thank you mommy." Mommy walks out the door without saying a word. I follow Mommy.

We walk to a part of Ponyville I've never been to before. I never knew Ponyville was this large. "Bye Dinky, I always hated you" Mommy said as she walked off. "Mommy wait!" she was gone. I was lost. I started crying, and all poured out of me. It was all bubbling up inside me since the day I was born. I had no home anymore. Then it hit me. Mommy abandoned me.

I didn't know how to feel. I was scared to be lost, happy to be away from Mommy and Daddy, but yet at least with Mommy and Daddy I had a home, and I wasn't lost. I thought my life couldn't get any worse, and yet it did. I was now homeless. I'll never be happy, now that I'm gonna die on the streets. I'm lost forever, lost emotionally and well just plain lost.
