Branches

There are branches here


But

But how


There was a tree here


But where


There is a tree here


When


In pieces


Twilight


Twilight Sparkle



All across the room

Scattered across the corridors

Teetering off the stairs

Charred and burnt

Beneath

The fluorescent lights


Twilight

Don't


Look at it



You trot forward

You see fragments of books

Tattered lengths of bedsheets

The broken remnants of a telescope

And

A wooden horsehead

Cracked down the center



Look at all of it


Don't


Isn't it starting to make sense

Twilight Sparkle


Don't


You shake

Your heart

Your heart



It doesn't belong



Branches

And splinters

Scattered

Blasted



As you never belonged


Leave


Your heart beats



And that's why

You were brought here


Leave this place


You backtrot from the branches

But you only bump into more



Because you are a failure



They scratch and they claw


You must leave this place


Because you are broken


Twilight

Twilight

Leave


You hobble over the chunks of wood



You flee



You gallop



So broken that

You couldn't even be fixed


No

Twilight


The world blurs

The fluorescent lights sting

The buzz

Encompassing


Twilight

Don't cry


You were replaced


Don't cry

Just move


Galloping



They replaced you

Twilight Sparkle



Stumbling

Bumping


Just move

You

You will find them


They replaced you


You will find them


They replaced you


You must find them


Collapsing

Crying

Musk and dust

The buzz


Get back up


You get back up

Sniffling


And go


You gallop



Silly unicorn
