Sadness.

My name is Pinkie Pie


I am the fun loving mare that everyone knows and remembers years after meeting me. The party thrower, the crazy animal, the crazy pinkie pony. I want everypony to be happy, no matter how I feel.


and I am here to say


I am no longer able to say anything to others, I have lost my voice to a villain I fought with my friends and I am only able to do hoof signal or write what I want to say, but they don't understand, it isn't the same.


I'm gonna make you smile,


I am unable to make anypony smile anymore, my whole purpose is gone now, and I am nothing if I can't make anypony smile. Everypony feels sorry for me, their smiles are insincere and only to try and make me feel like nothing is wrong, and I don't want that.


and I will brighten up your day!


You cant brighten up someponies day if you have no way to communicate with them.


It doesn't matter now


Everything matters to me these days. I can't stop thinking that if I had done something differently I wouldn't be in any of the situations I have been in.


If you are sad or blue


I am right there with you.


Cause cheering up my friends is just what Pinkie's here to do!


I can't do it anymore. I wish I could, but I can't.


Cause I love to make you smile, smile, smile!
It fills my heart with sunshine all the while, Yes it does.
Cause all I really need is a smile, smile, smile,
From these happy friends of mine!


I need more then a smile to make me feel better now. I am way past smiles.


I like to see you grin,
I love to see you beam


I wish that you would just stop trying to make me feel better about my situation.


The corners of your mouth turned up,
Is always Pinkie's dream.


Pinkie's dream is something different now, Pinkie’s dream is to be able to not feel pity and to be able to talk again. Pinkie doesn't want to see smiles anymore.


But if you're kind of worried,
And your face has made a frown,


Come and join me, I need somepony who understands how I feel, please.


I'll work real hard and do my best,
To turn that sad frown upside-down!


Yet I am unable to do that to myself. Everypony is unable to do that lately.


Cause I love to make you grin, grin, grin! Yes I do


I never knew how repetitive some of my songs were. Its amazing how when you're quiet with nothing but your mind to keep you company, you start to understand what you never did before.


Busting out from ear to ear,
Let it begin!


Please let it stop.


Just give me a joyful grin, grin, grin!
And you fill me with good cheer!


All I want is a smile that isn't full of sadness and pity aimed at me. Just stop please. I don’t want you to pity me, make it stop and give me an actual joyful smile like I was once used to.


It's true, some days are dark and lonely.


My days are nothing but dark and lonely now. I don’t have my voice to comfort me anymore when I am scared, all I have is my mind.


And maybe you feel sad,
But Pinkie will be there to show you that it isn't that bad.


Please, just leave me alone. I am so sorry, I can't do it anymore. You want to hear me sing, you want to see me smile, but I can’t do it anymore, I just can’t


There's one thing that makes me happy,
And makes my whole life worthwhile!


My life is nothing but a shell anymore, there is nothing worthwhile anymore for a pony who can’t do their special talent without their own voice.


And that's when I talk to my friends and get them to smile!


I even said it in my own song, I can only make them smile if I can talk, I can’t make them smile anything but sympathy at me whenever they see me.


I really am so happy,
Your smile fills me with glee!
I give a smile, I get a smile,
And that's so special to me.


I am not happy anymore, I have lost everything
your smile is not real, you are really sad
your smile is nothing but sympathy
There is nothing special about a smile to me anymore.

Cause I love to see you beam, beam, beam! Yes I do.

Tell me, what more can I say to make you see? That I do.


Why does this have to be the song that is sung, can't it be any other song besides this one. Please make it stop, I can't take it anymore.


It makes me happy when you beam, beam, beam.
Yes it always makes my day!


Why can’t you understand me anymore, all I want is peace. You have something that makes me sad, you have the ability to continue singing as you smile sympathetically at me.


Come on, everypony, smile, smile, smile.
Fill my heart up with sunshine, sunshine.


My heart is sad and dark, I have no room for sunshine anymore when a smile hurts like a kick to the flank.


All I really need is a smile, smile, smile,
From these happy friends of mine!
From these happy friends of mine!
From these happy friends of mine!


The smiles my friends give me now hurt much more then anything I ever thought possible. I don’t need a smile anymore, I need what I lost back. I need my life back.


It's a perfect gift for me,
Is a smile as wide as a mile!


A perfect gift would be my ability to talk back, I would be able to do what I loved again.


To make me happy as can be!


Make me happy as can be...


Smile, smile, smile, smile, smile!


Please stop, please just stop now, it isn’t helping!


Come on and smile!
Come on and smile!!


No no no no no no no no no no no! I can’t smile. I lost everything I ever had by losing my voice. I lost my friends happiness because all they do is show me sympathy, I lost being able to make friends because I am unable to talk to them and nopony understands hoof language and they aren't patient enough to wait for me to write a response. I lost the ability to use my special talent because throwing parties involves me speaking. I lost everything and a song can’t help me feel any better about being mute! Just leave me alone, just leave me alone please...

Pretty interesting Penny. Can't wait to see how you make it out.... :pinkiesad2:

3082805
I forgot to put it to complete :trixieshiftleft::trixieshiftright: sorry

Very good! Very sad, too. :pinkiesad2: The end was stronger than the beginning.

3082810 What!! Not again Penny!! Please!! :raritydespair:

Its amazing that you can turn a song full happiness and companionship to song filled with Despair and Loneliness, with just the right words

3082847
I make really depressing one shots because I can't think of any happy one shot ideas

3082868
Well I know about those things and I get an idea for a sadfic and it goes full circle with depression. I hate sadfics because they make me depressed yet I can only make sad one shots. Plus I like to think about how Pinkie actually feels behind her smile and if she became mute.

3082818
Yes it was. I meant for the end to be stronger then the beginning because the end is pretty much her breaking point and the end of the song.

3082907

Not just that, your grammar, too.

3082869 Well, why make one shots when you can craft an ingenious story I'm willing to give up to you? I have a few, and none of them are sad. What me to PM you a list of them?

3082920

Your grammar was better at the end than the beginning. At first, I was paying a lot of attention to the grammar, It wasn't so noticeable at the end.

3083037
I guess I spelled stuff wrong?

3083074

Yeah, and some i's should be I's.

Pinkie should become a mime. Mimes make people happy.

It's okay.

It feels rushed for some reason, but I don't know how you'd alter the pacing considering you've bound yourself to a song.

3083145
You've never comunicated with a mime, have you?

3083145>>3083675
Mimes don't make me happy, they annoy me. They pretty much ignore you.

I thank you for this, this will most certainly help me with my fic's mute character.

3084562
unless your mute character is an insane fourth wall breaking party thrower named Pinkie I don't know how I was helpful

3084571 Not quite, but her losing her voice was a huge blow to her. Her singing was one of the most important things to her.

Where's the music coming from? Her mind?

3085048
I think one of her friends is singing it to her or its a song in her mind

3085286
Holy crap I never thought I would make anypony cry with my stories

....I'm really in the mood to write now after reading this....Great story!:pinkiehappy: (that's ironic)

3083675
you can't even communicate with a mine now that I think about it...

3086088
how is it ironic?

3088394
Two words.
Sign Language

That kind of story always gets me. Good show._

>>Pen Brush Well that was super sad.. poor Pinkie Pie :raritydespair::raritycry:

Amazing! :pinkiesmile: Well, except the sad part.

Very interesting. This actually has more depth within it then I thought. When I read the description I was all like " Why is the picture so sad? " and then I read the story and i was all like, :fluttershysad:

3636941
yes...it does. I like thinking about what sadness hides inside of a happy song and why she is so terrified and creepy in party of one when she thinks her friends abandoned her and what might happen if she were ever to go mute, and lose what made her happy, being able to make others happy.

Now that she had lost her voice, ponies look at her with sadness and smile at her to say they are sorry, not in pure happiness like she would have liked. She cant sing to anypony anymore and nothing is the same, and it makes her sad to here the song that made everypony so happy to have given her a parade and meet a new friend.

I need more then a smile to make me feel better now. I am way past smiles.

Well shit. This summarizes the depression in this fic.

I liked it. It felt rushed, but still enjoyable nonetheless. :pinkiesad2:/10

3721864
Kind of hard to go slow while using a song, but I tried. Glad you liked it...and I somehow made you cry.
3721844
You like it?

Yeah. I feel so sorry for Pinkie Pie. I can't imagine not being able to speak.

That'd be like me not being able to hear, so I can't DJ(my favorite thing).

So sad, yet so good at the same time. :pinkiesad2:

3721919
well, I am making a prequel for it, or at least try, so you can see how she got to this point.

Well, that was....depressing :applejackunsure:

I hope the prequel to this story explains her voice-loss, for this story needs it. I like the premise, don't get me wrong. The presentation is nice, showing the sadness behind the smiles. (I got into this fandom because of Pinkamena-inspired art and writing, after all.) I'll give this an upvote, because I like what you have done so far.

Your story has been officially graded an...

fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/003/e/d/emeralds_by_shiranuishiningstar-d70opth.jpg

Emerald by the Gem Hunters.

Overall, it was unique. It took something as bright and colorful as the smile song, and made me depressed with it. Gotta say, definite achievement, considering that is what I believe your intended goal was.

3762868
Yep! I feel horrible now...

3762886 meh, don't worry about it. I can't say I like being sad without a good reason, but your work is still impressive, so I can deal. :twilightsmile:

it's complete, yet so short?
