When you look at me, you see behind me; When you listen, you hear your thoughts. When you talk to me, you think I’m changing; When you’re angry, you think I’m not. When I am crying, you think it’s weakness; When I am tired, you ask for more. When I am lonely, you talk of leaving; When I am leaving, you declare war.

Stop and look closer. You’ll see a person behind this face, A beating heart beneath this chest, A fire burning for life, for love: You’ll see something beautiful. Stop and look closer. I’m not a number, not a name— I am myself, just as you are Unique, special, one-of-a-kind. Please don’t look right through me. Stop and look closer. I wish to know you, and you me; I wish to see beyond the surface Of yourself; I wish to touch your soul. Please don’t brush me aside. Stop and look closer. For just a moment, just a minute, Give me a chance to show you This burning flame I keep inside. Please share yourself wi

When you look at me, you see behind me; When you listen, you hear your thoughts. When you talk to me, you think I’m changing; When you’re angry, you think I’m not.

~Life Preserver~ [Verse 1] I'm sinking... but you're staying with me. I'm thinking... that this can't truly be. I'm hoping... that this ain't just some fling. I'm dreaming... of what tomorrow will bring! [Chorus 1] You're a life preserver!— Keepin' me afloat when the world sucks me down! You're a...life preserver! Always there to turn my cheek when I frown. (Always there to save me when I drown...) [Verse 2] I was going under... Thinking there was just no hope for me. I was gonna surrender... 'Til ya came and swept me off my feet! My world was darkening. Oxygen was almost gone... Sinkin' down downdown. But t

"Where are you going?" "Home." "That's the wrong way, you know..." "Does it matter?" "...You said you're going—" "I just couldn't take it anymore.  I'm just going, okay?" "If you say so... I didn't think it was all that bad..." "That's because you're short-sighted.  It's worse than bad." "I think you're overreacting." "You're underreacting!" "No need to get angry... I was just trying to—" "I know what you're trying to do.  The fact of the matter is that I... I just don't know what to think.  I need time to decide... what exactly to decide.  I need time.  So that's why I'm going home." "Wh-Whatever you say.  I'll be here

Shepherd watched as the keys of the piano depressed under Glyph's ministrations, filling the apartment with lingering notes and resounding chords. Liara sat nearby, a soothing presence, as the music washed through Shepherd's mind, clearing it. The battles on Thessia, Rannoch, Palaven, and elsewhere in the galaxy seemed more distant than ever. However, the constant reminder of the challenges ahead remained in full force. The moment was bittersweet, but pleasant nonetheless. If only this could last, Shepherd thought remorsefully, eyes slipping shut but for a moment. "This is a nice place," Liara commented from her seat on the couch, tapping ca

Thirteen. Thirteen fears. Thirteen haunted years. Thirteen cold bitter tears. Thirteen memories linger and leer. Thirteen days pass as death nears. Thirteen screams that no one ever hears. Thirteen foggy futures that never come out clear. Thirteen cries for help that die when fate sneers. Thirteen faceless figures that hear all helpless cries without ears. Thirteen towering clocks that chime each passing life with dusty gears. Thirteen windows that never break against the pounding fists and bloody smears. Thirteen words that echo, echo, echo through the insanity your mind surely bears.
