in the oppression
Have you ever been so down you thought you would never get back up? have you ever felt alone and thought noone was watching? have you ever caught yourself doing the same mistakes and wanted to stop but couldn't? have you ever did anything (whether good or bad ) and wanted to go back to the day to make it more precise? I have.

therapist: Can you tell me something about you moon?

moon: i tend to keep doing the same dumb things. Every time i try to do right, something keeps pulling me into the wrong direction. It's like I'm addicted to nonsense when i should be focusing on common sense .

therapist: are you doing anything to stop it ?

moon: i can't even if i try; but i write so it kind of keeps me in a positive outlet.

therapist: well here's an idea take writing and put it into your everyday life.

moon: what do you mean ?

therapist: in your stories , do you like making the characters live this awesome life you wish you had?

moon: yes.

therapist: become that character. say to yourself what would this person do? to get out of the issuessm like i have now.

therapist: c'mon why miss out on an offer like this.

moon: because you're my therapist and I'm your patient... do you see where I'm going with this?

he sees the empty pill bottle then says.. therapist: You're coming with me. hands her a bucket.


moon: Why are you always helping me?


therapist : I'm a psychologist that's what I'm here for...

moon: Bullsh! she pukes

he wipes her mouth then hands her a mint

She stares at him for a long while before he leans in to kiss her.

.. Why'd you kiss me? we both knew how this would end..

the therapist sees moon at the mall


hey hey hey
before she can turn to walk away he grabs her wrist

what? she almost screams. people stare.

Tell me why you're mad.

Because you're supposed to be helping me not putting me down even more.

therapist: i am helping you.


moon: by fucking me ?! she releases herself from him

in awe he pauses then says .And you're right..


she stands still in shock. feeling every emotion inside.

scene change


have you ever felt unwanted but wanted
at the same time? have you ever felt confused because the one you care for won't express their true feelings for you?
have you ever felt you found the perfect person but wasn't sure you did because they would always throw you off with their imperfections?

i have. ALWAYS.

moon finishes her monologue

hey i see you've finished your monologue.

grunts turning around

hey wait i don't want any problems it's already bad enough on you.

she cries

shh. he says whispering something to her. Please help me. she puts her head on his chest . he kisses her forehead. I'm here.

have you ever been hurt so deeply but eventually was able to cover up
most of the scars? that was me.
