31 A Lone Soldier By Changeling Zero

A Lone Soldier

By Changeling Zero

I am Changeling Zero;

I have no name,
No memory,
No past or present,

I have no conscience,
Emotion or destiny,

'Cause I'm in the front lines,
And the few sentiments I have left,

Are as murky and tattered,
As the faded badge reflecting my rank;

Zero of six hundred faceless soldiers,
Who fell defeated,
After the first drum sounded in the distance...

Like the echoing heart beat,
Pounding against my chest,
Each time a changeling was banished from Canterlot;

The heart beat that still pounds,
Against the teal colored pin,

Resting against my heart,
Marking my given name,
"Changeling Zero, Division Six,"

A fading memory,
As Changeling Seven falls,
Then Changeling Nine...Changeling Ten...Changing Seventeen...
Badges flickering in the wind.

And I feel nothing;

'Cause I have no past or present,
No emotion or destiny…

I am the few, the proud,
I am Changeling Zero.
