Were ill,

Sick to our stomachs,

We've had enough, we're looking straight and choosing to speak out,

For too long we've been ignored, overlooked, spat on,

We've grown in numbers, and they can't stop us,

Were at our boiling point,

The life of the minority dose not appel to us anymore,

We must we sit in silence while others stand in speech,

Our ideas may not appeal to everyone but their ours,

We've waited long enough, our brains are full of dreams, and we've had enough, we're ready to lash out,

Peace may be our goal but not our means,

We will simply put forward all the intolerance that has been bistoed onto us,

You may think we are radical, extreme and too strong, but to that we say enough is enough,

Are goal you ask?

...

...

...

WE WANT AN END TO PROTESTING!!!!!!

Butterflies in your stomach ?

Cat got your tongue ?

Your legs turn to jelly when you see her?

But when you can’t you feel so alone?

Oh don’t mind me dear but it sounds like your in love.

You go to talk but your all choked up. Staying close

but never closer

afraid she’s the bug spray to your butterflies

Oh, if only you knew. But how could you.

Her stomach is overflowing with butterflies too.

Yours are pink, hers bright blue

Pick up your courage I’m sure you’ll find luck.

these butterflies have better things to be doing. Than stuck inside your gullet.

share your butterflies with each other. Let them fly free. Let them Dance in the breeze. A cloud of pink and blue, just relax,  let them surround you.

Still not convinced?

Your missing out love

No. More. MONEY. The scourge of the world. Everyone will be given the essential elements for a person to be alive and not have to pay to exist. Next, no politicians. They seem to be allowed to rule our lives, and while we can 'vote', it doesn't seem right that they get to say what goes. Lastly, no forced education. School experiences should be infinitely customisable, with quotas for learning but as much choice for what is learnt to maximise children's potentials and more importantly, enjoyment.

The View from Halfway Down by Alison Tafel

The weak breeze whispers nothing
the water screams sublime.
His feet shift, teeter-totter
deep breath, stand back, it’s time.

Toes untouch the overpass
soon he’s water-bound.
Eyes locked shut but peek to see
the view from halfway down.

A little wind, a summer sun
a river rich and regal.
A flood of fond endorphins
brings a calm that knows no equal.

You’re flying now, you see things
much more clear than from the ground.
It’s all okay, or it would be
were you not now halfway down.

Thrash to break from gravity
what now could slow the drop?
All I’d give for toes to touch
the safety back at top.

But this is it, the deed is done
silence drowns the sound.
Before I leaped I should’ve seen
the view from halfway down.

I really should’ve thought about
the view from halfway down.
I wish I could’ve known about
The view from halfway down -

It's written really well. I really like the monologues being done one by one and the idea of just a sole person on stage at a time because it will give atmosphere. I also like the use of actual swears because it wouldn't work well if there was a monologue about people being babied and yet we wouldn't be able to swear. It would be a bit hypocritical

# data[].attributes.body
Climate change, international war, crappy politicians and government corruption, cost of living

# data[].attributes.body
i love the layout so far. the different scenes and monologues are really well written. i like how there is only one person on the stage saying their monologue, i think it makes the play more powerful. i think the singing will add a lot to the play too.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought it was really good, I liked the way the monologues were layed out. It was heavy but it was interesting and I enjoyed it.

# data[].attributes.body
The atmospheric-level pressure that is applied to us in school and the strict system that I am forced to follow and will be forced to live by, with the alternative being to become unemployed and homeless

# data[].attributes.body
Very good ,well written, hoping for a funny scene and so happy that we will be singing!

# data[].attributes.body
The curse words and language makes the seriousness of it more intense. I feel often in protest shown in media and when talked about certain subjects can be filtered and censored and made seem a lot less serious and almost being made normalized. The way lots of these monologues are written don’t hide the seriousness or hide any part of it. It’s plain out what it is how bad and harmful stuff is how serious things are.

# data[].attributes.body
I really enjoy how the script and story is coming together

I think the fast paced changing between solo monologue to group protest is interesting

# data[].attributes.body
I loved it, I loved how it covered a wide range of topics and they were all relatable with young people

# data[].attributes.body
Corruption, greed and absolutely everything being about money and nothing else

I really likes the monologues and how a lot of the pieces we wrote were included.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought it was really well written and young people will find it relatable

# data[].attributes.body
I love how all the the different monologues have different meaning and there all so impactful

# data[].attributes.body
Very heavy and heart wrenching, overall good. And thought provoking, attention grabbing, definitely a tear jerker

# data[].attributes.body
Very good i enjoyed the monologues and how they got written in between the questions

Its literally impossible to be a woman - Gerta Girwig

# data[].attributes.body
It is literally impossible to be a woman. You are so beautiful, and so smart, and it kills me that you don't think you're good enough. Like, we have to always be extraordinary, but somehow we're always doing it wrong.

You have to be thin, but not too thin. And you can never say you want to be thin. You have to say you want to be healthy, but also you have to be thin. You have to have money, but you can't ask for money because that's crass. You have to be a boss, but you can't be mean. You have to lead, but you can't squash other people's ideas. You're supposed to love being a mother, but don't talk about your kids all the damn time. You have to be a career woman but also always be looking out for other people.

You have to answer for men's bad behavior, which is insane, but if you point that out, you're accused of complaining. You're supposed to stay pretty for men, but not so pretty that you tempt them too much or that you threaten other women because you're supposed to be a part of the sisterhood.

But always stand out and always be grateful. But never forget that the system is rigged. So find a way to acknowledge that but also always be grateful.

You have to never get old, never be rude, never show off, never be selfish, never fall down, never fail, never show fear, never get out of line. It's too hard! It's too contradictory and nobody gives you a medal or says thank you! And it turns out in fact that not only are you doing everything wrong, but also everything is your fault.

I'm just so tired of watching myself and every single other woman tie herself into knots so that people will like us. And if all of that is also true for a doll just representing women, then I don't even know.

“I used to think that we were closer than the words used to define us to the outside world. But now that I see that disgust in your eyes when I smile, that annoyance at me for doing my best and being myself, that anger when I say what I feel is right, I know there’s no going back. I know that what we had, that trust, that loyalty and that honesty in everything, is gone. It’s untraceable.”

Imagine you are in a dark room. A dark place, physically and mentally. All of the spiders in the room are scaring you, because you can’t see are they behind you or in front of you. You aren’t prepared to face them because you don’t know when they’re coming for you. Now imagine someone comes in and turns on a light. You stand up and look around you and you realise it isn’t so bad. You can see the spiders now, but they are actually a lot smaller than you thought they were. It’s always worse inside you head.

I am sick and tired of people making fun of others on stupid things like their appearance, where they are from, what religion they are and so much more.

No. I am able to voice my opinion. No. I am able to make an impact. I am just as worthy of a voice as you are. You fit the bill. The activist who is fed up the world. Fuck the patriarchy. Eat the rich. AH. I’m sick of trying to fit that mould. I am sick of being someone I am not cause I - I am not changing … You told me to open my mouth. Say what I believe. That’s not what you really meant. No. Be a shell of yourself and stay in line. That changes now.
