a set of poems

a set of poems that I've been meaning to write for a while now. My friends have always told me that my poetry is good and I should publish it somewhere so I might as well start here....although I don't always share their feelings.

This is also the first MLP poetry I've ever written so it might be a bit lacking in some areas

Whipped up the cover art in a few minutes myself. I drew it to portray the other side of RD shown in her poem

If anyone has any better cover art feel free to pm me. I'll try to make the current art appear darker as soon as I can.
Hope you enjoy.

Kindness

When I was younger I was bullied.

pushed around and teased.

They slowly built me into what I am today

introverted and shy

I wasn't always kind.

A fiery hell surrounded me in my younger days

I responded to it with horrid emotions

Depression and Anger

I vowed I would kill them all

They would pay for what they did

After all it wasn't fair how they were so happy because I was so

Sad and Disappointed

I've left those days behind

But they still recur in dreams

I wake and want to cut myself

for all the Pain and Suffering

I've never forgiven

I've never forgotten

It burns me to this day

I more oft than not wonder if I would be different

had I not been Bullied and Alienated

I'm shy

But was not always kind

Until the day came when I met her.

She was a local legend at our school

Untouchable by others.

I secretly wished I could be

so Talented and Outgoing

My demented soul longed each night

for someone to call a friend

and then the day came when I fell

and she came Brave and Strong

She saved me that day

and we are inseparable even now.

I've since destroyed my plans of revenge

and become quite Kind

She taught me that

I was not alone

I need not worry about others, I could be Gentle and Kind

when I could stand with Friendship

Between us.

Generosity

I stand upright and hold my head

as if it were made of glass

My manors are impeccable

But I really shouldn't boast

It's not like me.

To keep something above

another would be,

a most unforgivable action.

I love to receive gifts from others

in fact one seems to be

smitten to the point

that he simply cannot help

but give me all of everything he has,

As sweet as this is

It is still not like me.

I live to give

to allow someone something that they had not

would be something of a treat to me

and would not take a second thought

You see I have more than I need

where others might lack

even the simplest of things

to call their own.

It's really no trouble

no no, you take it

I've got plenty more in my store

it's really no trouble at all

I want you to have it

no need to repay me

I feel it an honor

to give.

I serve the world with Generosity

and that's all I could ever ask for.

Laughter

Laughter ought to be my middle name

It's so fun to laugh with your friends

and laugh with friends friends

Once long ago before

I was making ponies laugh

I was sad

Sad and lonely with my sad

and lonely family

on our farm

I laugh and smile and smile and laugh with

my friends here around me

who could be sad now?

It's so truly wonderful the

change I went through

To be who I am today

Long ago is long ago and I

can barely remember it now

and it's better that way

I love so much to laugh with friends about

stuff we think or stuff we see or stuff just for

stuff's sake.

I'll never go back and

who would want?

to be un-happy like that

My friends make me

the me that's me

and that's how I'd rather be

To Laugh is to

be joyous and happy

with friends and family around you

and that's all that matters to me.

Honesty

My friends place a lot of trust in me.

I'm proud of that concession.

the trust I've worked and strived for

is my most valued possession

Apples may be sweet

but truth is sweeter still

I'd much rather lose my farm

than lose my honor's feel

You see it's important to me

to be one of honesty

without it I would be lost without it

which is why I hold it closely

When I was little

My parents used to say

Honesty is like a well made boat

and I still think that today

Without it you'd be left to swim

and maneuver through your lies

and although some may prefer the deeps

I prefer the dry

I never have to hide my face

in shame of what I've said

I never have to dodge a question

I can provide an answer instead

I've always considered Honesty to be the absolute best policy

no exceptions, not ever

And I hold true to that every day

I tell the truth now and forever

I'd never lie

I mean it.

I'm honest.

And trustworthy.

I'd never give up on my friends

And so I'll be honest

Because Honesty is important among us

And I'll always remember that.

Loyalty

Every day I toed the line.

Pushed the limits.

Tested myself.

and failed.

I pushed harder than ever before.

Ran everything I had.

Came so close.

and failed.

I wasn't good enough for the task.

It laid before me and laughed in my face.

I hid my depressed inconsolable emotions

behind a cloud of frustration and anger.

I  couldn't be seen so weak over my failures.

So alone and so desperate.

So ready to give up.

and I cried.

I hated myself and my purpose was gone.

All I had worked for was lost.

I had nothing left.

and I cried.

I didn't show even a hint of my true feelings

until the day of my publicized failure.

When all would get to see the great Pegasus

fall flat on her face.

I began my performance with shaky breath and trembling hooves.

All of my failures led up to this point.

I could not turn back

my nightmare took hold

I recited my routine shakily with the grace of an Ursa Major

growing more and more ashamed as I flew.

It was all but over when

my nightmare took hold.

She fell so fast that she was a blur

to the stunned audience

that watched on in disbelief

when I suddenly found myself staring into her frightened, blue eyes.

I dove.

I lost all thought of my nightmare in the sky

as I plummeted toward mother earth

to help one near and dear.

I dove.

She looked at me with a glimmer of hope

but her panic held firm

she struggled and writhed

I dove.

I approached the wall.

It stood tall in front of me.

I can't cross it, I told myself.

I'm a failure, it cannot be done

Then I saw the desperation in her eyes, and a fresh scream of terror tore from her throat as she realized her fate.

I leaned in to the dive.

put everything I had into it

every ounce of being I still possessed.

determined to save her

I accelerated past any point I'd ever been at before.

it wasn't much further now but the greenery below was approaching fast.

if i was going to save her I needed more than this, but I was

determined to save her.

The wall loomed in front of me.

In its dark shadow I could see a tombstone cold and alone of my friend.

I stared back at the wall, with fire in my eyes, I could feel the adrenaline in my veins

as I struck it with all of the rage and anger I'd ever had.

and.

It shattered.

Into a million pieces it flew, each brick, each mortar fill, each and every particle of the wall flew

into the four corners of existence

as I flew through it

it shattered

I reached a place I thought I'd never return to.

a place of triumph and ecstasy

I smiled grimly as

it shattered

Right before we reached the earth.

I caught her.

I saved her.

I won.

I succeeded in my task.

My tears were of joy that night

as I laid in bed thinking to myself

how much Loyalty had brought to me.

Magic

I swirl my spells with satisfaction

admiring the work I've done

to this day it calms my heart

to magically fix an end

When I was young

I read many books

and may have found my hearts desire

sitting plainly between the pages

Its hard to remember

exactly when it was

that the day came that I learned

about these wonderful arcane arts

My friends and I stand together

bound to each other so

I use my magic to help not hurt

and they work their own magic in a way

My friends all have their attributes

but what's mine but a talent?

It's not so much a part of me

as I'm a part of it

I work each day to hone my skill

like a blade made new again

for them I would do most anything

so I must be ready

I learn from books

I read for days on end

Each time I learn something new

and I feel more fit in

As my talent grows it holds better still

the friendship that we have

I give my Magic and they give their souls

and we live as happy friends

One day

I'll make myself at more than magic

but not yet

I do fine with how I am

I must

for the sake of everything

Magic is what I must hold to until the end.

And on the way I hope to learn

much more than just some spells

Friendship is what I've sought, nay what I've needed from when I was yet a filly

Now I possess all that I could ever need.

Forever we will be bound

Friends 'till the very end.
