How It Is To Be Me

I Wrote This Monologue My Freshman Year. Its Had To Be About A Personal Experience And This Is What Was Going On Around That Time.

Do you know how it is to be sitting alone in your room, just waiting to hear those footsteps? The shuffle of a sick twisted bastard that is your brother? You just sit in the darkness waiting, knowing that it will happen again just like it does every other night. For ten years I went through that, and you have the nerve to tell this court that it was a mutual act? How dare you suggest that a five year old was just longing to be raped, that he was just longing for his innocence to be stolen from him. Ten years ago I was in this exact same court room pleading for help. But no one came to rescue me. And now at age 15, ten years later your finally doing something about it. But your not doing enough. I'm still waiting here for justice. While your laying in your bed tonight. I want you to just remember one thing. I can't go to my house and I don't get to see my mother. And as soon as hes off the streets. I am going to fight to get my innocence back.
