Your voice is surprisingly soft.

pipedream c'mon, look
you'll see what everyone else does

i'm easy to be with. i won't ask
hard questions and i make everyone
laugh. i smile and sparkle and skip
along. i'd have butterflies in my wake,
pink ones.

which makes being my cynical, sarcastic
bitter self so much more fun
its such a pain in the ass
to be happy all the time- i'm getting
tired of being miss beacon-of-light

doesn't get me anywhere, doesn't
give me anything but inaneities and
angst only i know
if i told you- ha, but i won't you see
because really, do you think you'd get it? don't
waste my time, run along now
as long as i smile
the world can carry on

i'll catch up, don't
worry about me now
i know how to
heal myself,
i've had lots of practice.

celestias shadow Look at me. No, really look. Look closer. Can't you see through my skin? Seems translucent enough to me. Except for those dark shields I have. It's getting harder and harder to have real emotions. I say what people want me to say at the time. Isn't that better than saying something that won't help them? I keep my thoughts to myself, but the problem with this is that my thoughts have found their own little corner to hide. They've locked themselves in and only I can find them now. I can't say them any more.

Now, look at me. Up here. See my eyes? Do they say anything? Why am I so afraid of compliments? I'm afraid to be good at something, but I want to be good at everything. I'm afraid to love anyone, but I want to be everyone's friend. I'm afraid to be pretty, it's impossible, but it's something I want so much. Somehow I think things might be easier if I was beautiful. If I didn't have to worry about it so much.



Look. at. me.
How could anyone ever love someone like me?

pipedream being pretty won't help anything celestias...i'm told i am and didn't get me nothin' except a lot of stuff i didn't want. which doesn't mean i'm ungrateful, but it doesn't get you as much as you think.
people who call you beautiful will be genuine gems of people who will see your beauty- and trust me, your beauty is the kind that lasts forever, transcends mortality and time-, and you don't deserve anyone but.

Eowithien Can't you just for a moment? Watch my cheeks go bright red as our eyes meet. I just wish I could listen to you speak without getting so nervous. I wish that I could focus on what you want me to focus on, whether that be your eyes or your words, just so you could see that I'm doing the right thing. Maybe things would go better.

Just for a moment? Oh, but you didn't hear me anyway so nevermind.
