Marble Pie is a quiet mare, and it is no secret that her sister, Pinkie, does more than enough speaking on her behalf.

However, she has a reason for being this way, one she has never shared before with anybody.

When a certain human meets her, will his understanding and love corrode the iron bars of self-hatred she has trapped herself behind?

Note: This is just a cute short story I felt the urge to write. Yes, it is human & pony, but not shipping.

Sometimes you just can't take it anymore, like when your parents are dead and the only other person you have falls deathly ill, and you have nobody that cares about you. Daniel was contemplating the thought of ending his own life, but, thanks to the kindness of a certain pegasus, he learns that you can be happy, no matter what the circumstances may be.

NOTICE: Equestria and Fluttershy are not included until chapter 2. Also, the rating is teen because of some sad events. (There is no sex or gore)

Note: This is my first ever fanfic, so forgive me if it isn't very good, I write only what I think others would enjoy. And I'm sorry about the spacing, and if some of it is incorrect. I am wondering if I should continue to write fics like this, or different types. Tell me what you think!

This is nothing compared to my other fic (The Forever Burning Embers of Love) so I recommend reading that if you want to see my true writing skills!)
