Monologue 3: Too Clever (unisex role)
Classroom, pupil is sat in the middle. Doing some drawing or day dreaming with head down.
Yes sir! (Sits up at the desk)
I have been listening...
What did you say? (Looks blankly)
(Impersonates the teacher) Pages 32- 38 for homework, in for next lesson.
Sir, I don’t want to come across as rude or disrespectful... but you just don’t interest me, I mean (stutters) you bore me.
(Mumbles) oh shit.
It’s just that I’ve done all of this already in my old school. So it’s really just a waste of time...for me.
This isn’t sounding too good, is it sir?
Ok, maybe not a waste of time as now I know how much I actually know.
(With a sense of pride) I’m confident in this subject, sir. (Smiles)
.... (Confused) my behaviour? How’s that fair? I’, top of the class though Sir, top marks....
Oh, that. I didn’t mean to hurt him, my aim was just a lot better than I expected (chuckles slightly)
But Sir, he ALWAYS gets nose bleeds, you can’t blame that on me.
I know I threw it, but it wasn’t actually meant to leave my hand.
I don’t...it just...I’m sorry!
Thank you. Thank you sir.
My parents are away with work.
I’ve taken everything you’ve said on board Sir.
.... (Defensive) you’re still going to send me to the head mistress?! That’s not fair.
(Sweetly, sarcastic) Do I really look like the type to cause trouble? (Smiles/ wide grin)

My Hair Angel

It was only a few weeks ago I looked at my hair, fed up. It always seems dry, yet I'm forever moisturising it. It's grown out, but has no shape. It's so bushy it takes forever to do each day. The journey of leaving relaxers and hair straighteners, has been long, and today more woman are embracing their curls and learn how to manage them. I, however was contemplated cutting it short again and thought to revert back to relaxing it after 4 years. Neither I really wanted to do. I'm still learning and trying to find what is best and works well for my hair. I've watched endless amounts of Youtube videos seeking advice from others with curly or unruly hair. But what I need is a miracle! Brown Beauty Talk-special guest,  Subrina Kidd My  prayers were answered.  My hair Angel had come to save me from the woes of my natural curly hair.  The amazing Subrina Kidd, who I'd been introduced to a few years back at the Toni and Guy academy called me to see if I wa

Unfinished writing :2015

I had every good intention tho write today. But the minute I sat down at my desk I decided to quickly upload some photos to my Tumblr page. Quickly was not how it was done. I could feel my brain bleed with despair as the connection with the internet staggered at a painful pace. The frustration building up as something that should have taken 5 minutes now took over 30. I had lost my train of thought in writing due to the stupid wifi. Maybe I should gather my things and head to an internet cafe. It's 3:30pm now, by the time I get ready and get anywhere it will be pointless....I've written off today....haaaahaaahaa. I've written off today. What a perfect pun, seeing as I haven't written anything. I have however watched three episodes, maybe four of Empire, whilst Ironing (a task I should have battled through last week.) And monitored my in take of water with a new app, which I laughed at the other month. 'Who needs an app to tell them to drink water!'  Well cl

Who are you without them? POEM

Who are you without them?  Are you standing tall in a room on your own? Have you got the confidence to dine alone?  Will you laugh aloud when they missed the punch, because they're too drunk and you're not stoned or half cut to un hear every syllable in each and every tone. Fall into place, put your hand on your waist, your disjointed body and face. Any thing to save grace. For that taste, the inclusive, judgemental party race.  But who are you without them? Can you walk alone, stay at home, happy to not pick up the phone. For socials aren't socials in flesh and bone. Are you OK without the phone? Is your time more valuable than your health? Giving time is humans true wealth.  Time giving, time without sleep, time to meet your mates in the streets. Time that's not replaced as you give away what family needs. Time they didn't rush when you picked up the phone saying 'Hey, let's meet.' Who are you without them?
