Such Great Heights Monologue
This is going to sound peculiar, but I believe I recognized your face. If there is even a remote chance that you are who I have convinced myself you are, I must risk embarrassment to tell you something. If it's not you, please feel free to ignore everything I say from this point onward.

If this is, in fact, April. Its strange but, just last night, I was talking about you and now here you are, possibly. I was at a friends, jamming out and singing songs. While there, I happened to play Such Great Heights, and it was received with praise. However, rather than just leave it at that, I told them all that they could never comprehend how beautiful that song could actually be. I told them that the best version I had ever heard, and not saying it with ego, was when you and I played it together. Every time I have ever played it I tell people about you and for whatever reason I can never stop there.

I feel almost compelled to tell them that you were far more talented than I could ever aspire to be. How you were a uniquely beautiful person, who gave kindness and companionship when I

Each day I choose to be mindful not to cause suffering to anyone, and to lessen the pain of others whenever possible. I make an effort to weight my words before speaking, for two purposes, first so that I do not say something I regret, and secondly so that you will always know that I mean what I say. If I express criticism or compliment, you will always know that it is genuine. I observe each person with sincere acceptance, and assess the nature of their heart. Though, at times, I tend to recklessly gamble on the person I recognize inside. Admittedly, this has caused quite a bit of heartache, for myself, but I consider it to be worth every moment. I continue to put myself out there with love and kindness, for that is what distinguishes a heart of substance. Well, these are my intentions in any

    “Get over here” the man yelled at the child on that cold December evening in 1985. As the boy unhappily trudged over to his father he was thinking about something far beyond reality, and that one thing was dinner. Even though they had cupboards of food he hadn’t had dinner or any meal for that matter for at least a couple weeks. “ Now you listen to me Max Parks”, the man said raising his hand high in the air, “ if you don't stop crying and moaning about food i will give you something to cry about”. As he said that he flung his hand down until it connected with the boys face.…

    I'd like to tell you something about what I'm doing up here. I've been presenting for about 16 years now, and I have so much more to show you, that I'm going to need another 16 years before I run out. I've made a lot of mistakes, because I was and still am learning. I recall a program on Mussorgsky when I introduced an opera that no one had heard of, Sorochintsy Fair; but we all knew a part of it: 'Night on Bald Mountain'.…

    The short story, “Life After High School” by Joyce Carol Oates, is set in the small town of South Lebanon, New York in 1959. The first three quarters of the story is the tragic tale of one-sided love where Zachary Graff, the intelligent but socially awkward teenager falls in love with Sunny Burhman, the attractive and popular girl that everyone adores. She rejects his proposal and he can’t take it and decides to take his own life. Later, we find out his real love was Tobias, his one friend. His love for Sunny was his last way to fit in with the norms of society. Oates shows us the intertwined lives of three high school students and the paths taken to free themselves of the entrapment of their uncomfortable 1950s conventional lifestyles.…

    My father trotted up to the dart game, like he was a big shot. I requested if I could play at least once. He said “sure thing.” As I walked up to the stand with the dart already on the table, I thought I was ready to throw it at the rubbery balloon. I closed my dark brown eyes and squinted very tight at the only balloon I wanted.…

    Today I left Brentwood, the psychiatric hospital that I was at since the 7th, and it was one of the longest weeks I've ever experienced in my life. I couldn't have my phone, which killed me because of how attached I am to it, and I didn't get to let a lot of people know that I was about to disappear for I don't know how long. But anyway while I was there one of the nurses mentioned to me that her daughter kept journals about her everyday life, what she went through and that she'd look back to see how she's progressed or maybe even be reminded of some happy memories. so I thought that would be a great thing for me considering I forget so much of my past…
