Percy: Believer

Percy's Pov

I'm a little bit sheltered I'm a little bit scared,

I sit in the hot, gritty sand as people rush around.

I'm a little bit nervous I'm goin' nowhere,

They scatter everywhere with thoughts of shrouds.

I'm a little bit jealous I'm a little bit slow,

It's overm the war, the worrying, and lives.

I'm a little bit hurtful and I don't want to let it go,

So many are dead it feels like I'm floating or-

No,

Drowning.

And I don't want to let it go,

My heart aches for my late friends:

I'm a little bit angry when everyone's around,

Hazel, the cure took her curse and her life,

But I get a little lonely when no one's out,

Frank, who's body was too much to handle and his life stick went up in flames,

I feel my demons misleadin' me,

Jason, who truly stopped Gaea with an almighty powerful storm that took him down with it,

I'm just a believer that things will get better,

Nico, sacrificed to Gaea before anyone could save him,

Some can take it or leave it but I don't want to let it go,

And so many more are just, gone.

I'm just a believer that things will get better,

Leo left with his ship, to find Calypso I guess.

Some can take it or leave it but I don't want to let it go,

Piper grieves loudly with choked sobs.

Maybe when I get older and I'm in the ground,

Annabeth sleeps in my cabin now, the nightmares too much to handle on our own.

The weights off my shoulders it was bringin' me down,

The shrouds are being burned tonight and I dread it.

I've never been that lucky I've never tasted fame,

The bodies, the flames, and the smoke like the gods enjoy the scent of their dead children.

I'm always lookin' for something but I hate changin',

Maybe they can live off that, the thought terrifies me.

Time fades there's no space as life brings new ground,

The ceremony rolls around and we gather around the numerous bodies covered in magnificent shrouds.

I'm just a believer that things will get better,

Annabeth and I volunteered to do Hazel's and Nico's shrouds which are covered in jewels, mist, skeletons, and mythomagic cards making my heart cry out.

Some can take it or leave it but I don't want to let it go,

I look around and notice a body covered in a hastily put together shroud with a bronze dragon on the front.

I'm just a believer that things will get better,

He came back to her and died doing so.

Some can take it or leave it but I don't want to let it go,

I run off and look around the campgrounds.

It doesn't matter what is out there,

Some cabins are completely destroyed.

My head is spinning and it won't bail out,

Some are just damaged.

It doesn't matter what is out there,

I notice the Hades cabin in rubble and faintly know no one will ever fix it.

'Cause time fades there's no space as life brings new ground,

I don't know how we'll get out of this mess and heal ourselves.

I'm just a believer that things will get better,

But Annabeth is here and I know all the heroes will be in Elysium.

Some can take it or leave it but I don't want to let it go,

My camp is strong and we can get through this.

I'm just a believer that things will get better,

It can't get any worse.

Some can take it or leave it but I don't want to let it go,

I think I just jinxed it.

I'm just a believer that things will get better,

But it can't get worse.

Some can take it or leave it but I don't want to let it go,

Can it?

Yep, I did that.

What if Percy creates a big hurricane and earth does fall to storm and Percy dies instead of Jason or Leo sacrificing themselves to take her down?

I'm just going to go now.
