Beneath the Mask- A Pony Poetry Compilation

by Strawberry Pegasus

Two by Two (Starlight Glimmer)

Two by two, the lines repeat,
Passing, but they never meet
I stand apart, I stand above
Wilting in the coaxed-out love
I stand alone, I stand below
Cursing what I'll never know
The pure of heart, the sound of mind
Seeking but I never find
A truth that may escape my lips
A hoof to still the slope that tips
The wheel of time, the camel's back
A lab mouse running round a track
Unlocks my heart, unlocks my past
On flailing seas, latched to the mast
And I feel guilt, and I feel fear
The sunset's judgement drawing near
I wait for fury, wait for pain
But find what I had hoped to gain
I find the truth, I find a friend
And now my path has found its end.

Author's Note:

I'm posting this last poem over four years after I actually wrote it, and I must say that I think it's pretty good for something written by an angsty 14-year-old about a cartoon horse. Good job, past me! I should do this again sometime.
