Monologue Mania Day # 1321 Better Known As....(better I hope) by Janet S. Tiger (c) Sept. 26, 2017
Since several readers -ok, most of my readers!- had trouble with yesterday's monologue, I revised it, hope it works better now. Please let me know- thanks!

Thank you! Thank you...for that lovely introduction! Yes, that is me you are adoring!
Words cannot capture how I feel right now because you are on your feet! Screaming! Yelling! Stomping!
I bask in your adoration! I am awash in your flood of affection!
(Smile fades)
Well, actually not. You don't really love me, do you? Not the person who is afraid to speak in public without a few drinks. Not the person who yells at the kids if they wake me up before noon to play with them.....You don't care about the human who still has trouble reading scripts because of dislexia....you don't want to know the real me..... because you all love the me that is......I can barely say the words.....You are loving the part of me...better known as....BATMAN! Better known as SUPERMAN! Better known as Wonder Woman, Spiderman, the Beaver! Better known as Luke Skywalker! Better known as anyone who has entered the common knowledge as a famous character.....but the actor beneath is always better known as......someone else.....
(Turns to leave, stops, looks back)
Except, maybe.... I'm not better ......
(Exits into a future with unpleasant social media)
