Derpy hooves may always seem perky, but once she reached the end of her rope, it snaps.

I was always called simple. I never knew why. Sure I was clumsy and had some weird eyes. But why was every pony so mean? Weren't they ever taught to never judge a book by its cover? Words hurt, y'know.

I've been having thoughts lately. You know, those kinds of thoughts that get someone gloomy. Those thoughts that lead to death. Yeah, I was pretty suicidal for a while. I tried to hang out with pinkie, but all she did was make fun of my eyes. I pretended to giggle, just to be polite, but inside I was breaking.

Then, I headed to rarity's boutique, where I hoped to see an exotic array of fancy clothes that I could never afford. But instead, I found some gray garments with yellow-gold tassels hanging from the head dress. It would have been flattering, except I saw Sweetie Bell out of the corner of my eye. " DUUH! IM DERPY! DUGHTHHH!" I an from the boutique, sobbing, but was stopped by Apple Jack.

" What's the matter?" She asked. " nothing an Apple pie can't fix, I bet!" She tried to sell me a pie, but the three gold bit collateral was way out of my budget. I ran away, leaving AJ confused, and sad. Next, Rainbow Dash ran straight into me. " WATCH WHERE YOUR GOING! doofus!" These were words often used when I fell. My depth perception was always off, but this time, it hadn't been my fault. Again, I ran. Flutter shy saw this and brought over angel for me to pet. But all the rabbit did was go out of her way to get away from me. I was almost to the cliff.

I walked to the edge, whispered my final goodbyes in a sorrowful voice, and fell. And fell, and fell and fell. But when the wind stopped whistling past my ears, opened my eyes. I was hanging by my tail about 2 feet above the roiling water. I saw twilight atop the cliff yelling something as she lifted me. The closer I got to her, the more audibal her words became. I teared up. She had been saying all I had needed to hear. "You have too much to live for!"
