Words Like Water, writing prompt: Song - "Secret" - The Pierces

Free-verse poem, from Drew's point of view. It was funfunfun to write. And also very therapeutic. I think it was just the bitch dynamic of the song. I'd like you guys to review, mmk?

Disclaimer: Most unfortunately, I do not own The Heroes of Olympus, nor do I own Wonderbread (other than the loaf of whole wheat in the kitchen).

you

you're cute, aren't you?

a bit more than cute, though

you're dropdeadgorgeous

but when you've dropped dead, will you still be gorgeous?

but that doesn't matter to you,

does it?

because you're Piper,

so sweet and kind and caring and wholewheatwonderbread

you don't care about your looks,

you don't wear makeup,

because you are

little miss-more-than-just-a-pretty-face,

aren't you?

you took my crown

it's cursed, I know

but it was mine

and you stole it with those pretty little manicured c/l/a/w/s

so now, I'm no longer miss-teen-america

or even miss-camp-half-blood

see, now, I'm

miss-welcome-to-my-world-bitch

because that's what I am,

a worldclassbitch

you can't stand me

you hate me, you despise me, you know that you're better than me

but you're not

you're not better than me

how can you be?

you're exactly like me

we could be twins, couldn't we?

separated at birth

but it's nature vs. nurture

and nature

always

wins

you try to avoid your nature

you try to have substance

(but what's the use, if you're so bland?)

you try to be interesting

(but my gods, you're so dull)

oh honey, you've been used&abused

nearly b/r/o/k/e/n

and no one could care less

who wants to look past those layers of makeup you don't wear

when you've got such an alluring body to devour?

you're a knockout, Piper

but in the ring, he'll only need one hit

to take you down

and when you

F
A
L
L

I'll be there to catch you

from my place at the bottom of the l/a/d/d/e/r,

after you pushed me off the top

because we're

sisters-in-arms and sisters-by-blood,

right?

chicks before dicks,

and I have to say,

he ain't got much of that

(but we'll keep that our little secret, won't we?)

so, Piper,

what do you say to a manicure?

some chick flicks?

oops, too late

looks like I've got a date
