There are two sides to every story, and I knew I would be cast as the villain in yours ... just as everyone before me was. "They were crazy", "they were psycho", "They were trash." That's when I realized that my partner was the director and I, simply an actress in a play. Being told what to say, how to act and when to speak.
Now that my audition is over and the spotlight is no longer on me, I look at life a bit different. When I think of that relationship, I can't help but to think of the scene from the Wizzard of OZ where the coward was hiding behind the curtain, trying desperately to keep up his smoke in mirrors act. I think of how awful it must be to live like that. Constantly worrying about being exposed, consistently keeping inventory of the lies told and never knowing when or if it will all fall apart.
That's not the life I want. So cast me as the villain if you must; if it helps you to fill some painful void in your black heart. I will create a new original script and rewrite my own damn story!
