But you don’t have to be this tough guy or the big bad wolf. Sit back down and calm down.
JAMES BLUE
But they don’t understand. Self-denial. Running from myself. How does it feel for your mother wanting you to be a certain way. I had these feelings that I was trying to understand at a young age. Do you know how it feels to have the urge to love someone you can’t have? Because of what the world will consider you as. It only took one feeling. No, I don’t have a sad story about this feeling. I was always curious, I love him. But I have to be this tough guy. Oh, I must switch how I act in front of people and my friends. You get tired of hiding who you are. My mother saw it when I was young, pushed me off to do sports and what manly men does. I was the number one athlete in my city they say, but I wasn’t happy with the life I was in. Hiding the true identity I wanted to be, hiding the true love that I wanted in guy. I wanted that so bad. I wanted to be James but too scared to be him, too scared to own my truth in who I am. I cry every night. Full of sadness but suppose this tough guy.
MALIK GREEN
Dang, I didn’t even know how you deal bro.
KENDALL WHITE
James, be yourself, you are at the point of your life where you are finding what you love, and who you love and what makes you happy. It is time to open that door from your closet.
TAMMY RED
Boy get over it, who cares! Stay in the closet.
MICHELLE PURPLE
Tammy really, just shut up. Or better yet closed your damn mouth.
TAMMY RED
Tell me to shut up one more time.
MICHELLE PURPLE
Shut… (Pause) Up!
(TAMMY RED gets up and storms to MICHELLE PURPLE. MALIK GREEN grab her and sit her down)
TAMMY RED
Get your hands off me.
JESSICA PINK
Y’all are really acting like some wild animals.
