        (Woman comes onstage, she is smiling - because this is a short monologue and she didn't have a lot to memorize.) 

I have little voices in my head, they are always telling me what to do.....I've been hearing them for a long time, I don't tell anyone because I know they will put me away! 

But how can I make those voices go away!  They are unavoidable, indestructible, and, like people you meet in a long line at the grocery store.... they are always talking! 

Always talking!  In my head, all the time!

(Imitates voice)  Do Not Eat That Piece of Cake!  You'll get fat! Take a walk after dinner!  It's good for your blood pressure!  Stop doodling and finish the taxes! If you don't pay, you go to jail!  And the worst one.....stop worrying!  It's giving you wrinkles!

I am afraid of the little voices, they scare me.....because I am afraid, one day.....I will listen to them! 

           (She turns to leave, stops, looks back)

Or maybe not……now where did I put that chocolate?

The original one- shorter, even less to memorize!
