Featured Monologue – Birds of the Storm
SHARON: I was never looked after; that’s the trouble. When someone needs looking after and gets neglected, bad things happen.
…Such an empty feeling it is, going through life with no one to hold your hand or share genuine eye contact with.
Forgotten.
I don’t want to be forgotten, Walker. And I feel it all slipping away from me—my life.
All the breaths I have taken will amount to what? What have I left behind that matters?
Is it all for nothing? Am I nothing?
You’ve never held me, never made me feel safe from this world. I have you here, but we do not hold each other. I imagine what that feels like, but I don’t know what that feels like.
…I don’t blame you for not knowing what I need, but it’s what I’ve wanted for far too long, and I don’t believe I will ever receive it, and that’s okay.
I think, I think I’m going to be okay with being alone.
