A poem I wrote

[Bunnyhop123 194]

The following poem was originally written for my school magazine as a bit of a 'coming out' about the fandom.  The first time it was heard by anyone, I was the one reading it aloud.  It was possibly the most terrifying experience of my life.  But hey, it's done now!  

 

I really want for you to see,
And understand quite perfectly,
That when you people look at me,
You do not see a Brony.


I need for you to understand,
Before this mess gets out of hand,
And it is time I take a stand,
And say I'm not a Brony.


For Bronyism isn't right,
As I'm reminded every night,
I see online a spiteful fight:
A fight against the Bronies.


They say that bronies must be gay,
"They're freaks and morons," they all say.
"The shows for girls and there's no way
A boy can be a brony."


Why should I risk their scorn and hate?
They'd win were I to take the bait;
Perhaps this torture is my fate
Once they know I'm a Brony.


But hold a moment! Wasn't pink 
A manly color -- now I think?
To just give up would really stink.
Who cares if I'm a Brony?


There is no reason I can give
to let them dictate how I live,
So it is time for me to shrive
And tell you I'm a Brony.


I watch the show 'most every day.
If you don't like it, go away!
I don't know why you'd want to stay
If you do not like Bronies.


I do not care just what is said.
I will not let it hurt my head.
I do not wish that I were dead,
Because I am a Brony.


It will not keep me up at night,
It will not make me join this fight,
And I assume that it's all right
If you know I'm a Brony.

 

Okay, I added that last part.

Beautiful, powerful poem standing up for what you feel is right and not changing who you are. Strong deep words.

You could rival the real Fluttershy with your kindness, I dare say.

I love how your thoughts progressed from hating that you liked ponies to learning to except that that's who you are. And I also like that you had the courage to write this and perform this in front of your peers.

You have gained my respect! I wish I had your courage!

Thanks; I was inspired by Let It Go.  Man, I love that song.
