I’m not especially good at writing or anything.
Poetry is weird and gushy.
And I’m not a gushy pony.
(am I doing this right?)

Twilight said that I should write down my feelings
Feelings are weird and I don’t like them.

It would be much better to be a robot
who could fly fast
and be dangerous
and bulletproof
and not feel feelings
would ponies love me as much
if I weren’t a pony
who had actual risks to take
like crashing
or falling
or feelings?

Sometimes I wonder
late at night
in the dark
in my bed
if it would be better
to not be a pony who does
because feelings get in the way

my feelings tell me
I’m not enough
I’ll never be the best
my friends don’t like me
anymore

But they’re just that
feelings
Right?

They couldn’t be real
so why do they feel
like they’re going to burst
from my chest
where everypony can see
and laugh
There’s Rainbow Dash
Who thinks
She’ll never be enough
What a fraud

And then it’s morning
and I wake up
and the feelings are gone
why is that
when I know
they’ll be back
