Forgotten

My name is Shadow Light,

You probably don't know of me,

For all my life I've been shunned,

-shunned, -shunned,

For all my life I've been shunned

Nopony ever talks to me.

My eyes are almost always closed,

For there is nothing to see,

I know not the reason I've been chosen

For a life without joy or glee.

Through the sunny day and the moonlit night,

I wander through the town,

Carefully avoiding everypony,

For fear that I'll be put down.

The final day has come,

for me to meet my fate,

I can no longer take it,

take it, take it,

I can no longer take it,

I fasten a noose out of a drape.

I walk into Ponyville,

Walk to one of its trees,

I fasten the noose to drape,

For all to see

Everypony gapes as I tighten the knot,

And fasten the rope onto me.

I grab the loop and pull it down

About to complete the task,

When a pony taps my shoulder,

Withholding one question to ask.

"Why are you doing this?" he simply asks,

I turn around and say to him,

"This is my final task"

He and others gather to beg me not to do it,

But I am fully convinced,

My whole life has lead up to it.

I have no purpose,

Therefore, I shall die.

My task has been completed, as my corpse sways back and forth,

My life has ended,

Now I go forth,

As I a spirit between worlds,

I roam the land,

Now I have nothing,

-Nothing, -nothing,

Now I have nothing, but persistence in hand.

I travel across the planet,

from Equestria to the Crystal Empire,

In search of the power,

Of which I am sure did this to me,

Did it that fateful hour.

I am told to stop here.

By a force I do not know,

It tells me to move on,

to escape Spirit's Row.

I wake up.

It was all I dream,

a flashback I have many a time seen,

Now, I can continue life,

As a pony other than me.

For I have taken,

Fluttershy's life for my own,

And now she is stuck

In the hell of Spirit's Row.

For all her life,

She has served no real purpose,

So she deserved to die.
