A poem by ShadO As I'm sure you all know, I love Tia to bits But it goes a tad deeper than fangirlish fits I've been the victim of serious depression Caused by anxiety and compulsive obsession I'm much better now, but back then my poor head Was swimming with sadness and feelings of dread So I talked to a doctor and got some stuff off my chest And told him about all the stuff that I loved the best And one of the things he suggested I do Whenever I start feeling helpless or blue "Imagine a person you know you can trust Them being real isn't even a must" "When you start to get down, just picture them there They'll be at your side anytime, anywhere" "They're completely unbiased, know this to be true Tell them why you're upset, they'll listen to you" I thought, "Who's the most loving character I know?" And my mind drifted off towards our pastel pony show Who's caring and lovely and patient and wise? So I conjured up Tia, it's no big surprise I told her why I kept crying, that I really felt like trash That I kept stomping on my own heart till it was red, gooey mash And she smiled and nodded, like I knew she would do And she told me I was a good person, and that I knew it was true And she gave me hug a said, "Get rid of that hate" "These words apply to yourself: Love and tolerate" I know this seems a bit nutty, but it's totally true Sun Princess Tia is my friend through and through
