From the published play "Bullied, Bungled and Botched" ISBN-13: 978-1518661082
(Female Version of Monologue)
I saw it... This terrible thing. It happened to this
girl I don't even like. And no one knows who did it... Except me.
Do I tell?
It's between what is right and what will ruin your life.
I don't even like her... She brings it on herself.
Why does she have to be so... Weird?
And if I tell... Everyone will turn against me... I will be like her... An
outcast... Invisible.
Is that how it happens... One little thing you do turns you in to a leper?
Social leprosy.
The right thing feels so wrong. I know I'm supposed to tell the truth but the
truth will not set me free. The truth will ruin me... Keeping quiet will
ruin her... And I don't know if I care.
I guess that's what happened to all those guys who stood up for what was
right... Gandhi shot, MLK shot, Jesus crucified... I'm no Jesus.
I wonder if she could ever forgive me? She can get over it right? Forgive
me... I don't want to be crucified.
END
No WITNESS

I saw it... This terrible thing. It happened to this
kid I don't even like. And no one knows who did it... Except me.
Do I tell?
It's between what is right and what will ruin your life.
I don't even like him... He brings it on himself.
Why does he have to be so... Weird?
And if I tell... Everyone will turn against me... I will be like him... An
outcast... Invisible.

Social leprosy.
The right thing feels so wrong. I know I'm supposed to tell the truth
but the truth will not set me free. The truth will ruin me... Keeping
quiet will ruin him... And I don't know if I care.

was right... Gandhi shot, MLK shot, Jesus crucified... I'm no Jesus.
I wonder if he could ever forgive me? He can get over it right? Forgive
