A/N: This song sort of struck me as either a very Silena song or a very Piper song and I already had one for Silena so here's a story about the inner turmoil of Piper!
Piper's POV
I love today. The rest of my cabin is out on a two day long shopping spree with mom, so I'm here alone. I refused to go. Yay!
As I walked aimlessly around the cabin, I saw my reflection in the only non-beauty item in the cabin, Katoptris. I sighed.
I looked...good.
I try not to look good. I don't like drawing attention to myself.
"You know, you'll never get a man if you act like that," Lacy had warned me.
I had just shrugged.
It was official. I was a failure at being a daughter of Aprodite.
Dad and grandpa always said that if a song popped into my head, sing it.
So I did.
"Look at me,
I will never pass for a perfect bride,
Or a perfect daughter."
I felt like I was acting out my life. Like my dad. But I wasn't supposed to be the actor in the family. I was supposed to be the 'piper'. Whoopee.
"Can it be,
I'm not meant to play this part."
But what if I was just...myself? I could try just being me for a change.
But it would break my family's heart.
"Now I see,
That if I were truly to be myself
I would break my family's heart."
I stared into the mirror. A Cherokee beauty queen stared back at me. That's not who I was.
"Who is that girl I see,
Staring straight
Back at me?"
Most reflections show you yourself. But this...this was a girl I didn't even know.
"Why is my reflection someone
I don't know?"
Suddenly I realised something. I had been doing the exact same thing as my dad. Trying to hide who I was.
But it still showed.
"Somehow I cannot hide
Who I am
Though I've tried."
I wished reflections showed who you were on the inside instead of the outside.
"When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?"
I'm sorry if it made no sense.
Yours in demigodishness and all that,
Peace out.
