(Teenage girl enters, swimming motion with her arms)
Some days, it feels as if I'm just swimming through acid.
I want to hurt myself, I want to feel pain, I want others to hurt me, to feel pain.
I live for pain. I feel like the acid is eating away at me, at my body, at my soul. How can I keep up like this? I hate the meds I take, I hate the doctors, and the hospital. And most of all, I hate this swimming. Will I ever get to shore?
(Looks at the audience)
Am I still in the nightmare?
Is this the end? Or the beginning? Oops. gotta go......
(Swims off, looks back)
A shark has to keep moving or it dies......in the acid.
(She exits into the dark)
