Cleopatra Coleman Monologues

If you kill me now, the world as you know it will end in a very short time. And you have no idea what's coming.

No. You don't kill me. I know you. I've known you my entire life. You were the one who told me to take this job. You taught me how to ride a bicycle. You made me my first ice cream pancakes. And you held me on the day I was born. This was my mother's.

The voice that gave birth to a movement turned a small crack into a great divide. It drowned out the best of us, and it amplified the worst. So we found a way to silence it. We found a way to undo the damage; to un-connect the dots. I volunteered to un-tell the story.

You will love, and you will heal. You will teach me how to live, and you will make me who I am - a fighter, just like you. Because right now, both of our lives are about to begin.

You have no idea what's coming.
