Dear Reader:
I'd like to thank you, firstly, for taking up your time,
For what I've written here is just a kindly little rhyme,
About a Pinkish Pony, who with help from her friend true,
Overcame her struggle with the little dog so blue.

Finally, some poetic entries get past the filters!
First off, I want to commend you. Poetry is a serious undertaking, and an entire fiction based on the rhyme scheme you chose really drove home the feelings you were trying to portray.
Second, I thought the message came through clearly, and I think Winston was sort of pseudo-symbolic of growing up. As a puppy, he is mischievous and not well understood, but soon enough, you'll come to terms with it. I feel as though if this was your intent, then bravo for making a metaphoric prose.
If not, the story was nice enough as is and I'd like to see more poetry.
(Also, as a side note, was Winston the dog's name because of Churchill?)
Wow...this really hit home. I got a bit choked up actually.
I have to say, that was one of the most touching poems I've ever read. I suffer from anxiety, and I feel very relatable to Pinkie. Thank You, Writer, and God Bless.
I'm sorry, but why are there so few views and likes on this?

Yes. Read the AN, friend.
wow. just, wow. This was amazing, friend. At first i did not really understand what you were talking about, but enjoyed it nevertheless. But the AN really brought it all together. as someone who has suffered through clinical depression, I completely understand and appreciate the beautiful deep meaning behind this poem. thank you truly for sharing this with us.
I had heard the reading of the black dog in a lecture I had on mental health and realised immediately what you were doing. This is fantastic because you've chosen the happiest character from MLP and shown how vulnerable everyone can be to mental illness! This is awesome! Great work!
Heh,
As someone who had, has, and will have gone through exactly this, I can say very clearly that this poem touched me.
Really I've found that its a matter of inertia. Depression acting like a retardant. Not only taking away what feelings of improvement success or happiness you may make for yourself, but actively inhibiting your working your way out of it. Having good friends and good family to give you the nudge you need (especially if you don't think you need or deserve it) is a major drive to getting moving again. It's surprising how difficult it can be to ask for help, not only because it is a rather revealing/private matter, but much like in your poem, you can feel like you're doing the right thing by not "inflicting" your depression on others, which is something of a false comfort. Present temporarily, but ultimately damaging.
The real trick then is keeping that inertia... Which is not an easy thing to do when you're always being drained. Medication certainly helps, though in many cases I've unfairly attached stigma to it. Really at it does is grant the *capacity* to be happy, It doesn't *make* you happy (a distinction I feel should be emphasized more often).
In any case. Apologies for the mini diatribe. It's a sensitive subject for me, and your poem hit it pretty dead on. I very much enjoyed it! Thank you very much. You've put a smile n my face.

A true achievement.

....Why the long face? Depression is one of those terrifying things simply because of how hard it is to see and face by yourself and by those around you. I've lost a work colleague to depression, outwardly he was always smiling and chipper, but there's no telling for sure. Some days you go about things because you've always done them, rather than any other reason. The poem is well put together, the change of style and pace flows with the mood of the story. The scene with Fluttershy chasing the blue dog away was bloody well heartwarming. I'm glad Pinkie is looking to have a happy ending.
I had no idea Churchill was bipolar. As a person with bipolar myself it’s nice to know someone so successful combated the same things I might. Your story was good too, and the verse was excellent at leading your story. I have more blue dog months than I like to admit but reading things like this is nice, and your hard work really shows.
