FRO Fall 2017 Section DTJ

Monologue

Standing on the rocks watching the waves crashing down

How irresponsible they are to just go wherever they want to go

What does it all mean?

What does it stand for?

My thoughts go round and round and I realize that sometimes my thoughts come crashing down just the same

I look at the stars on this clear night

The vast openness of simple nothingness that we call space

A galaxy full of wonders, and I’m a spec of dust

What does it all mean?

What does it stand for?

I turn one way and see the couples walking hand in hand

How they look at each other and share their dreams with their eyes

A simple touch a quiet stare

What does it all mean?

What does it stands for?

I turn the other way and see the dark of the night and wonder

What am I doing here and what will I become?

Have I been a good person who has earned the right to ask for things?

Or am I irresponsible like the waves and think I can go and do whatever I want?

Or can I be the wave that stands tall, carrying life on my shoulders without crashing down?

Can I be so Responsible?
