Monologues
MONOLOGUE (FEMALE)
I’m not a loser and yes I’ve made mistakes but I am not a failure.
I’m not perfect, who is? If Angels can fall. How dare you judge me?
I am definitely good enough, did you hear me? I am good enough.
No you shut up. Shut up.
I got that job on merit because I am good enough and I will not lose that job because I am good enough.
I am good enough. Am I good enough?
Am I? What if your right and am wrong?
And I have been believing a lie all along.
No, no, no, no, no, no. Your words of doubt will not take root in my mind.
This garden will blossom. It maybe be dry right now.
But wait for the harvest. You’ll see what I’ll reap.
Then you’ll know I am good.
MONOLOGUE (MALE)
Here is what you don’t know about me. I have a fire burning inside.
It’s not a fleeting spark, It’s a relentless blaze.
It won’t waver, seize or yield.
It’s the desire to be at the top. I want no one above me.
And I’ll pay the price at any cost.
No man’s shadow will be cast on me. Not now. Not ever. Not again.
Not again. It’s cold at the bottom.
Living on the mercy of men.
Wishing the day could end only to start dreading tomorrow. Not again.
My children’s cries have numbed my ears.
My family’s tears have frozen my heart.
Call me cold, call me a monster.
Call me a fox, call me a what you want.
I’ll pay the price. No matter the cost.
