Default A Tragedy : In One Act

Scene 1
The curtains open
Enter Joy and Happiness

In the beginning all their was enjoyment
Life was filled with accomplishments
One after another
The days we're long
And the nights were longer
The joy was infinite
And in those moments, we thought it would last forever.

The theater goes black.

Scene 2
the curtain opens
Enter Joy and Happiness

But then one day it changed
There was something wrong

Exit Joy and Happiness
Enter Jealousy

We weren't equal anymore
She got everything...while I...
I was just alone
And we just weren't as happy anymore

Enter Anger

I was angry at her because of this
She had stolen everything from me
Who did she think she was
It was at this point I vowed to let my name be known
By everyone and everything
My name will ring out through the town
and never
NEVER will this happen again.

The theater goes black

Scene 3
The curtain opens
Enter Obsession

Slowly thoughts of perfection consumed me
I had trained my self to sit up straight, smile, look kind
But no matter how good I was she was always better
This is an atrocity, I thought to myself
I was supposed to be perfect
How could they not come to me?
What was I doing wrong?
How could I fix this?
Slowly I began to realize I will never be better

Enter Depression

For weeks I sat, alone, talking to no one
Everyday I waited for it to end
The hours of the day seemed to pass so slowly
No one noticed me slipping into this almost comatose state
And why would they?
I had trained myself to smile, look cheerful.
I could act as though nothing was wrong, although almost everything was wrong.
Until one day when it all came to me
Every horrible emotion you could possibly imagine
It all came at the same time
I could not take this anymore
I could not fake everything anymore
And I could not live with my imperfections
So this is how it will end, I said to myself.
And then slowly it all went black...

The curtain falls




so tell me what you think...its pretty emo, i know.
imaginary ordinary
it's you that i belong with

the names katee, you won't forget it.
