im not very likable but i hope my stories are haha

So many years ago, I was so very young.
Growing like a tree
And hurting.
And growing.
And... un-growing?
Always surrounded by ponies.
Was that good or bad?

Poetry for the soul. Excellently composed.

Why, thank you.

A year of pain
And a year of
Being surrounded by ponies.

Cartre was right!

Maybe it's a feeling, when love is taken away.
When someone like Mom is gone.

aww, yeah. given we see Starlight with just the one dad, her other parent dying when she was young and this leaving a lasting impact on her makes all too much sense

My magic is too strong for magic school.
Yeah, I'm surrounded by power.
And boring old ponies.

literal children and prodigious magical talent seem to bring about megalomania pretty often amongst the ponies

Because Sunburst does.
And he left me for it.

oof! that is not a great pattern to learn

I won't about the hideous mark on my flank.

aww, poor Starlight! it’s such a nice mrak!

I'm surrounded by equality.
It sickens me, so I'm happy I'm not equal, too.

ah dang, Starlight was young when she started her cult! a true prodigy

And now I'm learning to like ponies again.
Yay...

yay!...

Twilight's first line stretches into her smile.
Her wing around me is comforting.
An embrace, water and sunlight for a little tree like me.
Incomplete, but big.
I don't think I'll ever be complete.
And that's okay.
Because:
We'll fight all the problems together.

aww! what a sweet way to end it. lovely look at the breadth of Starlight’s life from her own perspective, thank you for writing!

Fascinating bit of prose poetry looking at Starlight’s stunted emotional growth in poor soil and the wrong amount of light. I appreciate how the pattern only breaks when Twilight comes around and disrupts everything Starlight had built her life around. Thank you for this.
