Donatello sat and stared at his reflection in the pool of water that was in the lair. He was feeling down for a while now. Things just haven't been going well lately. He keeps making promises and trying so hard to be what he is supposed to be, but he just keeps messing up.
Look at me
I will never pass for a great ninja
Or a great inventor
Can it be
I'm not meant to play this part?
Now I see
That if I were truly to be myself
I would fail absolutely everyone
Who is that creature I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection some freak I don't know?
Somehow I cannot hide who I am, though I've tried
When will my reflection show who I am inside?
When will my reflection show who I am inside?
Donnie looked up when he felt a hand on his shoulder. Master Splinter smiled at him.
"I remember once when you were young, you showed me a book. It was a book about different rocks. There was one rock that you proclaimed as your favorite. That rock was unassuming on the outside, but inside it was a treasure." Master Splinter said.
Donnie looked back to his reflection. He thought about his father's words deeply.
"You do not have to be any other than a brother. And of course a son." Master Splinter said. Donnie looked up at Splinter. They looked into each others eyes and Donnie suddenly felt better about who he was. Maybe someday he will be able to see the treasure inside of him like Master Splinter can.
New headcanon guys! Donnie's favorite kind of rock is a geode! lol and i know what you're thinking, "ANOTHER Donnie song parody!?" but i have a reason for this, it was a request. that is my excuse. you know, i can see this song for Raph too, since he's been the turtle in the fandom to see them as monsters. i swear i will do a song parody of a different turtle, i promise.
