A Pony That Can Fly

“A Pony That Can Fly”

I sit by myself in my simple room
I look towards my opened window, peering out into the sky’s gloom
My cerise mane ruffles up as a light breeze blows through
I know what I want; I tell myself that the day will come soon
But for now I wait
Waiting for the day when I am finally able to touch the big blue
I let out a sigh as I start to find myself becoming quite bored
I walk through the halls of my home as my small hooves softly hit against the old floorboards
I turn around and head straight towards my oaken front door
I walk outside, touching the cold, dirt floor
I scan the area, the town where I was born
I see ponies laughing and smiling, something that I truly adore
But I wear a frown, craving for something so much more
I let out a sigh as I stare towards the ground
I feel misplaced as I start to walk through the happy crowd
I lift my head up and stare at the white clouds
Tinted with orange since it is almost sundown
I face straight ahead, making my way towards a quiet field
I lay down next to a bush, protecting me like a shield
If I were able to fly, this would make a perfect airfield
Wide open spaces where I don’t have to yield
I turn my head around and I stare at the tiny pair of wings on my back
I am a Pegasus, a flightless one to be exact
As much as it saddens me, I won’t ever crack
Because I know that one day I will look back and laugh
At the little orange filly who spent her younger days sulking in the grass
I sniff as I attempt to hold my tears back
Right when I see a bright, blurry flash
Several different colors streaming through the air so fast
I know what it is; my hero, Rainbow Dash
I stare up in awe as a smile makes its way onto my face
Rainbow Dash, an expert flying ace
She soars through the skies moving in her usual, fast pace
All I see in her is beauty and grace
I watch her as she flies by, yearning for the feeling of being in her place
My desire is so strong, is this a mistake?
She flies so quickly that she represents a launching missile
That even the noise she emits sounds just like a whistle
Leaves me hanging on to a feeling so utterly dismal
I bet there are no words great enough to describe the sensation
Must be better than any big celebration
The ability to cause so much elation
The feeling must be close to suspended animation
I imagine that time slows down all due to your own body’s coordination
But for now I watch, becoming lost in my own fascination
My eyes follow her silhouette until it disappears over yonder
I feel my smile start to fade and begin to feel a deep sonder
The realization that she’ll never know the feeling of only being able to wander
I’m now completely alone with my thoughts, only left to ponder
She’s told me in the past that I don’t need to fly to be awesome
That someday I will be able to fully blossom
To become a mare as great as she
Is my only one true dream
To be able to fly across soft clouds and giant rivers
The thought alone is enough to give me shivers
I slink back and my lip slightly quivers
My lack of flying ability leaves me feeling so limited
I’ve grown tired of walking, it just feels so primitive
I look down at my wings, which are oddly diminutive
I give them a flap
No luck, I feel trapped
Sometimes I will find it completely unfair
I have wings, yet I am unable to feel the rush of the wind course through my hair
Forever wondering what it’s truly like to be up there
Being suspended in the cool, breezy air
Soaring high above without a single care
But for right now, all I can do is stare
I won’t allow myself to become easily discouraged
For my hero’s words do nothing but encourage
My smile returns and I sit straight up
I tell myself that I won’t ever have enough
I want to be like my hero, strong and tough
I won’t stop fighting for I have dedicated my whole life to flight
Because I know that one day I will put on a show that will truly be a sight
For all my friends to see as they show their expressions of delight
Cheering me on as I begin to display my strong might
But for right now I can only dream
I let my hot tears that were once being held back stream
I’ve been told that it’s okay to cry
It’s just something that happens when you’re not feeling alright
I lift my head up and tell myself to stay strong
For I hope that my fantasy won’t take too long
I will continue to stay true to who I am
Because I know I will and can
One day take my hooves off the land
And for once feel the feeling that I perceive to be so grand
Leaving behind the earth that is nothing but bland
I will be able to look down from high above and scan
And I will know in that moment, is where I truly stand
Tears continue to flow down my face as I bear an expression so wry
I use my arm to wipe away my tears and they begin to dry
For no more do I want to cry
I want to be sincerely happy and spry
Flying happily side by side
Right next to my fellow Pegasus allies
Because I cannot deny
That the sky is where my heart resides
I give a look of determination, telling myself that I won’t give up and I will try
Every single day that goes by
For I will be a pony
A pony that can fly
