Foalhood Unvisited
By Princess Luna
Ask me about my foalhood,
And I will tell you I've forgotten it,
Somewhere in an old battered chest,
Tucked away in a place I can’t find it,
Even if I searched it out;
In a room I've hidden the key to,
The place I store nightmares,
Stories of lost friendships,
Segments of family no longer connected,
Or epics of court duties that didn't work out,
That place I keep sealed off,
Dark, dusty, unvisited,
Unwelcomed for ponies to stay in,
Concealed from prying eyes,
A place of sacred reverence,
Like the prayers we offer to the dead,
Enclosed by a garden where nothing grows,
But the misery those relics left behind.
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Princess Luna writes a poem? HELL YEAH!
I loved this poem. It really does bring out the sorrow of Luna's character and is a very powerful opener to this series of poems. Knowing what we know now, this poem is definitely heartbreaking and it explores Luna's character to a tee. All the memories she had earned up until the Nightmare incident have now been swept away under the rug, never to return, least they hreaten to lead her down that path again. it is a difficult sacrifice indeed and it is her burden to carry. It actually makes me respect her even more considering how friendly she behaved at the Nightmare Night Festival. A truly amazing poem about my favorite character.
