I give credit to them both.
A/N: I've been on fanpop since January and this is only the seconde artikel i've posted. The first was a poem, so it doesn't really count.
So bare with me, it's not that good.
Aftermath: link
Have u lost your way?
u could say that. I woke not knowing who I was in a strange place. Does that count as losing your way?
Living in the shadow of the messes that u made
Again, don’t know what messes I’ve made. Unless u count ending up here.
And so it goes
Everything inside your cirkel starts to overflow
My emotions are swirling all over the place. There’s so much I want to know, so much that is a mystery. Sometimes I feel like it’ll drive me insane.
Take a step before u leap
Well duh! I may not remember anything, except what I’ve learned since I arrived, but isn’t that a bit obvious?
Into the colors that u seek
I’m seeking numerous things, it’s unlikely that I’ll even get one of them.
You get back what u give away
Does that mean I’m supposed to be nice to the Romans and cooperate with them and hope they return the favour? Cause I don’t think that’s the way they work.
So don’t look back on yesterday
I can’t look back on yesterday when I don’t even know what I did yesterday. So no worries there.
Wanna scream out
That’s pretty accurate. This situation really is tearing me apart.
No meer hiding
Don’t be afraid of what’s inside
Easy for u to say. What if I end up being an evil lunatic who was sent here to destroy them all? I have plenty of reasons to be scared.
Gonna tell ya, you’ll be alright
In the Aftermath
u don’t know that. This war could be the end of me, the end of civilization. What happens after it’s over is a mystery.
Anytime anybody pulls u down
Well, that happens quite a bit. They don’t really like me here. They can tell there’s something different about me. What it is…I don’t know.
Anytime anybody says you’re not allowed
Again, happens all the time.
Just remember u are not alone
In the Aftermath
Really? Cause I feel pretty alone right now. And it’s only the start.
You feel the weight
For some reason that gives me a tingle. Like I should remember something about weight, and having to hold it…nope, it’s gone. Gods, this sucks.
Of lies and contradictions that u live with everyday
Didn’t we go over this already? I don’t remember who I am, let alone lies I’ve told and arguments I’ve gotten into.
And it’s not too late
Think of what can be if u rewrite the role u play
I don’t think my role can be changed. After all, they’re missing someone. Jason Grace? Does that mean wherever I come from, I’m noted as missing? I don’t know what to do, but there has to be a reason behind it all, of which I can’t change.
Take a step before u leap
Into the colors that u seek
I guess I should ready myself for whatever’s coming. If I don’t…I very likely won’t make it through these ‘final’ days.
You get back what u give away
So don’t look back on yesterday
What if the past is the key? What if my memoires and experiences help me survive? If I could just tell these guys some info, they might be willing to keep me around. And apparently Terra’s done this before; maybe we’ll find the antwoorden in the past.

So I’ve been told…
Anytime anybody pulls u down
Anytime anybody says you’re not allowed
Just remember u are not alone
In the Aftermath
In the Aftermath
The aftermath of a war is never very good. But as long as door then I know who I am and am with someone I love, then I can face it. u better be right.
Before u break u have to shed your armour
I think I’m already broken. Besides, here, u have to be strong and emotionless. Shedding my armour, to make them see my shattered heart, would get me killed.
Take a trip and fall into the glitter
Glitter? What’s that supposed to be a metaphor for? One thing I’m certain of is that I’m not a child of Minerva. So, can u explain?
Tell a stranger that they're beautiful
So all u feel is love, love
All u feel is love, love
I feel strangely guilty thinking of doing that. Why? What am I missing? The love wouldn’t be real of worth it anyways.
Wanna scream out
No meer hiding
Don’t be afraid of what’s inside
Gonna tell ya, you’ll be alright
In the Aftermath
If someone - a god, anyone - could give me a sign as to where I come from and why I’m here, it’d be greatly appreciated. That way there would be no meer screaming, no meer worrying about what I’m really like. Then maybe, the damage in the end won’t be as bad.

I guess I’ll have to wait and see. Let the unknown be known. And find someone to carry the weight with me.
"Percy Jackson is at the other camp, and he probably doesn't even remember who he is."
