This... Twilight Sparkle

"This… Twilight Sparkle"
Poem by Picardy Third

Alone, outcast
I find a familiar tune
A repeated fate plays again
As I walk under cover of the moon

To hear them laugh
To hear them jeer
Like the cries of demons
Painfully reminding me what I fear

I am the Great and Powerful…
Oh, what point remains?
I have lost all that I own
Do I even hold true my name?

I turn my head and glance
The horizon dark, shadows high
Barely in sight, a village stands
Under Luna's gem of the sky

By folly act of children
Disaster struck, peril ensued
And from Everfree's forbidden depths emerged
A great beast of midnight blue

My efforts, though valiant
Were but foal's play
Defeated and upstaged by one
Magic powerful and bright as day

This unicorn, this hero
This ray of hope, this Twilight
Left me homeless, left me broken
Running scared into the night

But as my hooves tire
As my body aches
I know I cannot run any longer
I must do what it takes



Courage in tow
A hastened, furious pace
With fervor I return
I will tackle this
Face to face!


I will find her
This… Twilight Sparkle
She must know
What she did tonight

I was beaten
At my own game
And in doing
She saved my life

So I thank you
Twilight Sparkle
Because of you
Clear now, I see


She takes me in
Her house, a hollowed tree
Too easily, my apology she accepts
How is it she can tolerate me?

A bed, some food, a friend
The latter I've had, but not all three
From a window I can see the moon
And swear to Celestia it smiled at me

"For now, you stay here." She says
A tired voice, yet so kind
With a smile and soft goodnight
She leaves me alone with my mind

It's time to change
Forget about the past
For this day all too well
Could have been my last


I have found her
This… Twilight Sparkle
She has shown me
Now I see

And so I am
Forever grateful
I'm a new
Reborn
