The Wanderings of My Mind

Trials and Tests of Life/Make Life Your Own

Past Sins

When you have no past to call your own

When your looks cause doubt to be sown

A filly taken into another's home

So she may be happy, not forced to roam

A happy life without idea of who she was

A happy foalhood of warmth and fuzz

Three new friends to adventure together

Four little fillies like birds of a feather

But alas, this could not last

For nopony can outrun mistakes of their past

Come to light to cause a scene

The Nightmare causing the tower to lean

Twilight staring, lost in thought

Losing Nyx, forgiveness then sought

In New Nightmare Moon, she sees her daughter so loved

Close to her death, this for this decision she's shoved

But nothing in this world, can beat what Twilight's sown

And away from her death, Twilight is thrown

For her little filly Nyx, finally had enough

Coming down on Nexus, Nyx starts getting tough

The sun will start to rise again, the ponies think they're freed

Only to be crushed again, though Nyx no longer leads

A curse discovered, the Nightmare cult is gone

Twilight's love of little Nyx, come out, shown and shone

No one left for comfort, a house that's not a home

Too guilty to even leave the place, to guilty to try and roam

Little Nyx has lost it all, friends and family too

She lost it all, to her fall, when her magic was forced anew

Now she has a castle, but money makes not the mare

She only seems happy, when ponies come back to share

So share she does, glad to do her part

Though when the monsters attack at last, she fights with a heavy heart

Guilt for being the cause, the cause of this attack

But though she may be guilty, courage she does not lack

Stop the monsters, fight for those who must escape this town

Even if, in the flood of monsters, she will surely drown

But against all odds she finally beats them back

And must hope to all above, they don't come back to sack

What's left of the ponies homes, little though they have

At least not one was lost, down to the smallest calves

Now Nyx must face her judgement, for upon release

Princesses will be livid, demanding the Nightmare cease

A beautiful finale, with Nyx's final fate

She got to stay with Twilight, not victim to others' hate

A well deserved fillyhood, for the lovely little foal

Though rocky it may be, love will fill the hole

No memory left of Nightmare Moon to taunt her little Nyx

Though her guilt as the Nightmare Queen has no easy fix

And down the road in hope they start, towards a better life

One that will not be, without a little strife

But hope they do, each day improved, upon the one before

On with each step, continue to move, finding each new door

Without a doubt life is a test, to try our very core

All we can do is our best, continuing to soar
