I thought I could escape. The very concept seeped into my virgin mind, causing me to writhe in agonizing anguish. Through the valley I walked. On one side of this inner sanctum was humility; the other, humiliation. I walked the side that sheltered me from the truth, lashing out at those who beckoned for me to join them in their merriment. However, I shunned them. And in doing so, shunned myself. It has been a long and arduous journey. I have come full circle and have now embraced this all too real attribute. Yes…I admit it. I am indeed….a silly pony.
