writing Black Day Pony

[Idris 241]

Am I alive, as I strive, to keep soul uplifted on high,
Scribbled words bringing forth sad story, I cannot deny.
I try for thoughts of blue sky and of summer’s day,
But from my window the sky is dull and full of grey,
Until I see her, a pony at play…..

Head bowed she shimmers into the breeze, an image so fine, laid out in the trees.
Her head is crossed branches and her tail all but twigs, up high in the dead canopy she prances and kicks.
I dare not move or sneeze.

Then I see it’s not about being wizened and strong,
Not dwelling on things, that were painful or wrong,
My forever pony keeps on pulling me back,
I must not slip aimlessly, toward paranoia and black.

Nervous? Hell yes! I hope I have the right section? Only been a brony for a month! Today I've Spent way too much time listening to Scribbler reading depressing stories and I was depressed to start with. But her reading are so well presented I had to do it (love her work & Dr Wolf). It was when I saw the pony in the tree I snapped out of it a bit. I do hope you can see it too, but it's a lot like cloud watching. Head is on the left tail on the right, and my apologies if it just looks like a tree. Anyhoo, A bit of poetry on the computer before lunch and I feel like I'm on the road to my most-embarrassing-brony-moment.......

Beautiful poem, a bit dark and i think the end verse kinda repeats the second verse of the third part :"Not dwelling on things, that were painful or wrong". I keep forgetting myself it's not about being wizened and strong..

Fair.

Not sure how I got there even? bang and it was appearing in my head ! Bit weird really, and I'm a bit freeked out by it. Can't really tell if my brain is re-connecting after the nervous breakdown or disintegrating? I tried to explain it earlier to myself with "my inspiration is the screaming in my head as my mind tries to understand the inconsistencies of every day life" which sounds horribly pretentious. Honestly, I'm glad anyone thought it good enough to read all the way through and brohoof it

Yeh, I'm locking that one in 'as is'. It's my first, it's sat for a week, it was written from the heart and the soul. I'd feel weird messing with it. And anything that is hinky with it.... Well, I'm learning as I go
