Unheard :: Fluttershy

How
Can one
So fraught with love,
Admirers abound...
Gaze out the panes
To trodden lanes
For that
Which shan't be found

The cold pain of rejection
Shall not be known to me
I see
The hurt it causes others
And I'm so weak...
So won't I flee?

No, it is safer
Not to walk
And not to fly
And not to talk
For risks not taken cannot go bad
I'd rather not know
Than risk be sad

...

But still...
You never really know, do you?
Beyond those trees where the sun sets on life
Where a voice so silent as mine
Makes me wonder...

So another day
Passes
Another chance goes
And I wish but for warmth
From these winter snows

This was a nice little poem, pretty much matches the feelings Fluttershy has in the show. I liked it.

This is an overall review of this entire set of poems.

These poems each had a unique tone. Most of them sounded like something out of Shakespeare - they were dramatic and eloquent - Applejack's sounded as country as you'd expect with a hint of metaphor, and Fluttershy's almost sounded philosophical in a way...

In other words, you are a very talented poet.
