Some crap midnight poetry for y'all

The Girl Who Used To Be Mine

I once knew a girl with hair the color of rich roses

We stayed up talking to midnight

About our hopes and dreams

Boys who made us feel special

And popular girls who drove us insane with their fake giggles and eyelashes

I once knew a girl who was loyal and funny

Her eyes were like rivers, changing from the lightest grey blue to intesnse greens

When she smiled, I smiled wider

Her laugh sounded like how sugar tasted

I did anything I could to make her laugh

I once knew a girl who knew all my secrets

How my mom would drink till the smell of vodka stained her permanently

My deepest insecurities

And my deepest desires

I once knew a girl who smelled like a fire in December, warm vanilla, and snowflakes

A girl who braided my hair

Stood up for me when no one else did

A girl whose high fives sent shocks to my heart

I once knew a girl who was beginning to rot

I first realized we were on borrowed time when I saw the basketball shoes

I pushed the thought as far as I could and began to savor the rose haired girl

But I couldn't

She was slipping away

Like sand in a hourglass

On the last day of school, I smiled and waved

And prayed to any higher forces out there, perhaps the one my rose haired girl believed in

It was that summer I finally admitted to myself I loved her, it seeming so obvious then

I had a breakdown after no contact between us for three weeks

I returned to school and what I had known all summer came true

She was gone

She felt nothing for me

Seemed angry, even

I would drive myself insane for a month, trying to figure out what I did

I got angry and sad

Food didn't taste like it used to

I'd fallen from cloud nine

Why had she left me for everyone we hated?

I once knew a girl with rose hair

I once knew a girl who wad loyal and funny

I once knew a girl with river eyes

I once knew a girl who knew all my secrets

I once knew a girl who smelled like a fire in December, warm vanilla, and snowflakes

I once knew a girl who was beginning to rot

Now, I know a girl with fake eyelashes

Who spends hours curling her hair

And I haven't heard her true laugh in long time

I hope she's happy, honestly

I hope that maybe those girls are better than me

I hope she never feels the pain I felt

And just maybe she realizes why I can't meet her eyes

If she does, I know she won't admit it

But that's alright

Even though I cry during love songs

And every rude comment she makes feels like a knife

I hope the girl who used to be mine is happy

Here's the excerpt from a PJO fanfic I'm working on that nobody asked for

Dark lipstick. Smiles. Softly whispered sentiments and snarky comments. Flowing white fabric. I love yous filling the night air. Lingering kisses, and deeper ones. Tangled limbs. Desperate touches. The smell of sea mixed with sandalwood and a little bit of petrichor. The taste of chocolate covered cherries. Tracing scars all over each other's bodies with such delicacy that they might as well be gold instead of healed over wounds. Luke couldn't have picked a better way to spend the last few nights of his life.

What do you guys think? I'm losing motivation to keep it up,so I thought I'd post a little bit of it

Y'know what, fuck this bullshit. I need to know y'all are actually against it.

Reblog this if you will NOT use or support Post+.

I hope to make @staff see how that is total bullshit. Tumblr will die without writers/creators.

Hey remember how Luke defeated Kronos but Percy gets credit?

You see, the thing is: people love to think of the Titan Army as heartless traitors who left their family behind to join Kronos's evil cause.

But that's not how it was.

The Titan Army most probably didn't join Kronos's cause, rather, they believed in Luke's.

They were a bunch of teenagers, mostly comprised of Cabin Eleven campers (it is safe to assume that majority of them were unclaimed demigods) who had been under Luke's leadership for years. And even if they were not from Cabin Eleven, Luke was a respected counselor in camp. Those teenagers had seen how unfair it was for their fellow half-bloods to be treated as extras, so when Luke said he could make a better world, they joined him.

Why wouldn't they?

Luke was the camp's golden boy, he was their leader.

And to Cabin Eleven, he was their big brother.

(Luke did not realize it but he was actually a lot like Hermes--in which he never gave up on family. Because that's why he fought right? For a better life for his family.)

The Titan Army weren't good heroes turned evil. They were children who believed they were doing something good.

Children who wholeheartedly believed they would change the world for the better.

Up until their rebellion, they were campers. Being a camper was probably the only way they knew how to live as demigods. They most probably had that set up as well.

Luke and the other older campers planned camp activities such as campfires and sing-alongs and all that to lessen the anxiety of them going to war. They knew they were at a disadvantage, so they did everything to make things more comfortable for the younger ones.

These all changed of course, when Luke became Kronos's host. The Titan of Time sitting down with children around a fire? Pft.

It was such a drastic change for everyone, to see their leader act so differently.

In the earlier days, when Kronos was asleep and Luke was awake, Luke would hang out with the younger kids. That was until his body started becoming more Kronos than Luke.

And the Titan Army learned that the hard way.

(Once, there was a Hephaestus kid, probably age 8, who asked "Luke" to play with him, showing him his new cool figurine made from scraps from the forgery. But Luke was asleep then and Kronos was in charge. Let's just say the Titan Lord did not appreciate children using their resources for their toys.

When Luke woke, he had to attend a funeral of an eight year old boy.)

They were children who believed they were bringing a brighter future for fellow half-bloods. But when you're surrounded with so much hate and violence, it's hard not to be hateful and violent.

You can't be allies with monsters without turning into one.

Maybe that's why Chris never came back to the Titan Army.

Maybe that's why some demigods chose to return to Camp Half-Blood.

Maybe that's why Luke sought Annabeth, his family, to run away with him.

The Titan Army were never heartless traitors who left their family behind to join Kronos's evil cause.

Well, they weren't always.

But somewhere along their journey, the lines blurred and they had to be what they had to be to fight for the recognition and freedom they so yearned for.

To protect the family that they love so much.

No matter the cost.

The war always wins, after all.
