Buts what’s the use in tears?
What’s the use of crying?
When there’s nobody who cares.
No-one that cares
No-one that will make friends with you
You give and give to receive nothing in return.
They shun you away.
You feel that something’s wrong with you
You feel that something’s wrong with you but you just don’t know what.
But they know.
They know what’s wrong with you
And they don’t hesitate to punish you for it.
When you step out the door
When you walk down the street
People bully you
People bully you
They cut you
They cut deep into your soul
With their words
Their words etching at your heart like a knife.
All the time their eyes looking
You’re not human
You’re an animal
They treat you differently
They hurt you.
They make you believe you are the dirt beneath them
You feel small and worthless
Small and worthless
You are invisible
They ignore you.
They die everyday living
While you live everyday wishing to die
They don’t care if you cope.
They don’t want you to cope.
You have no feelings
No feelings
You have no feelings.
Just because you’re different
This is a performance that can be done in a monologue or as a choral performance, it is a very abstract piece, it uses a lot of dramatic devices such as periodic repetition, parallelism, similes and metaphors.
I performed this as a choral piece and received an A* for it, though it was based on a monologue.
I have marked in bold the lines that need to be said with the same emotion and in red, the conclusions of each section that can should stand out from the rest of the piece.
Our lighting for this piece was very basic, the same lighting throughout and our costume was also very basic, we though this best as it gave more attention to the message we were trying to portray than our lighting and set.
Though saying all this you could in fact use the piece and interpret it into your own way thus making a completely new performance that could still be of an A* standard.
You could also use this for GCSE drama Task 2 Development and analyse it in your own way on an A3 piece of paper.
This is a very good script that gained an A* but unfortunately I cant submit it if its less than 500 words so by these last few paragraphs this is what I am trying to achieve.
