5. (percy, people)

It's so strange

living

inside of your head.

Left?

Right?

It all looks the same,

to be honest.

Even though nobody is,

not any-more.

Human or God?

And then they just say that

you are nothing.

Just an experiment,

little machine.

Running on golden gasoline.

You can try to fit in,

but you will never

be one of us.

Before this,

before AREA 51

fighting was so easy.

Your sword

was like a second arm.

But now, you have to fight

with pure will

instead.

You have plenty.

But is it enough?

Yelling at each other

in the middle of the night.

Helping family.

Don't give up,

you scream.

Keep going.

This will end.

You scream,

but the words will end up silenced

muffled by the real

monsters.

You're searching

for something

that's too far away

to see.

Too close

to truly imagine.

Your head is your own personal

WONDERLAND.

Nothing ever fits together.

You are floating

drifting apart

from yourself

from reality.

Just ghosts,

they tell you.

You are nothing

but a ghost.

I'm going to destroy you,

they smile, sinning.

Ghosts

fade.

And when you disappear

it will finally be

the end.
