What comes after we hurt each other? It gets really quiet. We do or do not get out of bed. Like birds there comes an astonishment of kindnesses. Hello. Hello. Light slams into snow.

PERSONA 5 OST PROMPTS.
WAKE UP , GET UP , GET OUT THERE.
“ am i not unique ? ”
“ maybe i’m not here at all. ”
“ can we make a difference ? ”
“ wake up , get up , get out there. ”
“ raise your voice against liars. ”
“ feed your anger like fire. ”
“ why does nobody want change ? ”
“ the fakers are all sick at heart. ”
“ is there a mission for us ? ”
“ there’s more to life than their way.”
LIFE WILL CHANGE.
“ i’m not a phantom. ”
“ i’m in your face , and i’m here to see it through. ”
“ tryin’ to stop us shows you might as well go try and stop time. ”
“ so you know that we’re out there. ”
“ can’t move fast without breaking. ”
“ can’t hold on , or life won’t change. ”
“ and our voices ring out. ”
“ now we know that life will change ! ”
“ ain’t it a shame i’m not a figment of your ailing old mind ? ”
“ i’m just as dangerous as you , so know you’ll find a taste of your own meds. ”
“ your empire will fall apart. ”
LAST SURPRISE.
“ hold on. ”
“ think again. don’t you know what you’re starting ? ”
“ but you sure ain’t got a clue how bad this will go. ”
“ seems like it’s crept up out of nowhere. ”
“ it’s not quite what you foretold. ”
“ you’ll never see it coming ! ”
“ you’ll see that my mind is too fast for eyes. ”
“ you’re done in by the time it hits you : your last surprise ! ”
“ i’m two steps ahead. ”
“ one more step , and you’re dead. ”
“ it’s not an accident that no one hears your cries. ”
“ i’m coming for you. ”
“ you’re spun in by the net that didn’t catch you in time. ”
“ are you sure you won’t get outmaneuvered again and again , my friend ? ”
BENEATH THE MASK.
“ where have you been ? ”
“ the real question to be asked : where have i been ? ”
“ hiding both face and mind. ”
“ what else should i be ? ”
“ a mirror right in front of me : that’s where i find an empty glass reflecting the sad truth. ”
“ it’s telling words not to be told. ”
“ i need the mask. ”
“ chained down to my core. ”
“ please don’t take off my mask , my place to hide. ”
“ i can’t tell you how to see me. ”
“ just a cage of bones ; there’s nothing inside. ”
“ will it unleash me ? ”
“ is there a way for me to break ? ”
“ please don’t take off my mask , my disguise. ”
RIVERS IN THE DESERT.
“ it’s now or never , and i’ve got to make my decision. ”
“ this time it could be my moment. ”
“ i’m keeping the balance , but i’m standing on razor’s edge now. ”
“ move quick , or my life is over. ”
“ don’t ask why , but i’m ready to strike ( him / her / them ) down now. ”
“ there’s no time for indecision. ”
“ remind us what we’re here for. ”
“ my heart is a furnace. ”
“ it’s hot as hell in my world of conflict. ”
“ one goal is what keeps me going : take back what i lost to. ”
“ gotta clear my head of anger and greed. ”
i’ve only had varian for a day and a half but if anything happened to him i’d kill everyone in this room and then myself
GRAVITY FALLS SENTENCE STARTERS , PART TWO .
“ there’s a burning question my heart longs to ask of you . ” “ leave that thing alone . ” “ aren’t you supposed to be on lookout ? ” “ are you scared ? ” “ i run away from nothing . ” “ i don’t often do this , but i feel the need to give you an award . ” “ did you hear that ?! ” “ but what was that noise , then ?! i just heard a monster noise ! ” “ i just realised … i love you . ” “ come check this out ! ” “ i just wanted attention ! nobody pays any attention to me anymore … ” “ in retrospect , my plan seems a little contrived . ” “ well , time to get back to work on my death ray . you got a screwdriver ? ” “ five bucks says you can’t do it . ” “ five bucks says you can’t do it with your eyes closed , PLUS me singing at the top of my lungs ! ” “ i have very keen powers of observation . ” “ i was cleaning up when i found this creepy room hidden behind the wallpaper . ” “ i like your gumption , kid ! ” “ i think it needs more glitter . ” “ you’ve brought every threat to my power together in one easy to destroy circle ! ” “ you’ve gone too far , _____ ! ” “ i’m not scared of you ! ” “ don’t you toy with me , _____ . ” “ nice shot , pumpkin . ” “ wait , no —— it’s too dangerous ! ” “ i’ve got some children i need to make into corpses . see you real soon . ” “ when i get my hands on you , kid , i’m gonna disassemble your molecules ! ” “ you’ve tricked me for the last time . ” “ you’re a kid . you don’t know any better . ” “ are you honestly telling me there’s nothing else we can do ?! ” “ my brain isn’t good for anything . ” “ what other choice do we have ?! ” “ i’m starting to think there’s no way out of here . ” “ when one door closes , choose a nearby wall and bash it open with brute force ! ” “ i think i’m gonna kill one of you now , just for the heck of it ! eeny , meeny , miney , mo — ” “ you’re going down , _____ . ” “ let me out of here ! ” “ you made a fatal mistake . you messed with my family . ” “ i’ll give you fame , riches , infinite power , your own galaxy ! ” “ would you be a dear and fetch me the sawed off shotgun ? ” “ we’re mad with power ! … and love . ” “ i’ve come this far . i’m not giving up now . ”
I am not magic enough. I’ve tried, but I’m just flesh, blood yet to spill.

i have to talk to myself sometimes or ill die
But tell me now, for how much longer will it be necessary to have courage, tell me,
Sibilla Aleramo, tr. by Roberta L. Payne, from “The Little Girl that I Was,” (via anditslove)
I walk around I look at pictures of myself
At night, I lay my outfits into shapes of people on the ground
Tomorrow I will be as tired as a god and after that
