a monologue….

what were you thinkin’…takin’ off like that…some kid runnin’ away…and from what…it gets cold out there…you hardly have any clothes…no coat…just an old pair of jeans and some tee-shirts…what good’ll that do ya when snows come and ice is on the ground…you can’t survive that way…you’re already marked dead ‘fore ya even start…goin’ off half-cocked…over what…a disagreement…didn’t get your way…times get tough…ya gotta learn to adjust…stop being so sensitive ’bout everything…you’re gonna get your heart broken a few times…everybody does…think this is the only time it’s gonna happen…Christ…you can be married 50 years and still get your heart beat up on a daily basis…life’s funny that way…one day you’re really somethin’ and the next you’re pulled down a notch or two…there’s set-backs kid…can’t always get your way…and now you wanna take off in the middle of the night ’cause some broad broke your heart…I’m tellin’ ya…ain’t nothin’ perfect in this life…nothin’…
