Been on a bit of a poetry kick lately. I have been writing a lot of pieces using Greek mythology, religious ideology, symbolism. Most of my inspiration comes from deep feelings of regret, remorse, solitude and self-hatred. I don't mean to go emo on you guys, but I just wanted to tell you where my ideas are rooted. I have been dealing with a lot, and it comes out in my writing.

One of them uses MLP references to describe a person who hurts those he loves most. I call it Chimera because it was written from the point of view of Discord. While he is not called a chimera on the show (I can't even remember what convoluted word they used for him), that is technically what he is. A chimera is a mythical beast made of many parts.

Below I am including the text of the poem. I didn't intend to share it when I wrote it, but then, I didn't expect it to come out as good as it did. I figure if anyone can appreciate the symbolism I used in this, my fellow MLP fans can.

I hope you like it.

Chimera

I am not a unicorn,
a beast of beauty fair.
Nor am I a zookeeper
who's always shy and scared.

I am not the one who flies
and clears away the clouds.
I am not a student
of which teachers can be proud.

I cannot maintain the trees
that bear the luscious fruit.
I cannot throw parties
that can last a day or two.

I am a chimera
For I'm made of many parts.
And see that you don't get too close
I'll always break your heart.

I cause naught but chaos
whene'er I come around
I'll throw your whole world out of whack.
I'll turn it upside down!

I'll pull right at your heartstrings.
I'm quite the puppeteer.
You'll be left alone and gray
if you dare get too near.

I am not, as you may think,
What I appear to be.
For Frankenstein he never built
A monster quite like me.

Please don't try to be a friend
To chaos and discord
For in the end the price you'll pay
you really can't afford.

For I am a chimera
There is no harmony.
My elements are pain and woe.
I crush those close to me.
