Strength Through Friendship
A poem inspired by happiness

~ ~ ~

So many times
So many places
So very many
Angry faces
I got used to all
The hateful shouts and calls
It became
A part of my everyday life

It was so strange
When these ponies came to me
Showed me friendship
Showed me harmony

Amanda Palmer taught me
That the Orange Man always gets us in the end
Andrew Jackson Jihad taught me
That we never really have a friend
But just this once
But just this once
I don't think these sad songs are true
You've got me
I've got you
We've got these ponies
What've we got to lose?

I put so much effort
In maintaining who I am
But sometimes I forget
How to just not give a damn
Not in any way dangerous
Or anyway offensive
It's just that every once in a while
We all tend to get explosive

Is it really so wrong
To live a little and have some fun?
These ponies have taught me strength
Enough to appreciate the sun
And watch it's golden glow anew
Breaching into my morning view
Twixt my shading branches through 
And only ever fully appreciated by few

Celestia be praised
It's a brand new day
And hey...
I'm feeling happy for once

(Yes, I used "twixt". I was drunk. Gimme a break.)
