Stumbling On

(Re-posted)

(Genre: Short play/Short Dialogue sequence)

Person #1: You can tell me anything!
Person #2: And you can talk a lot of shit and spread a lot of rumors which gives your ego attention which is why you’re offering me to share with you how I’m feeling.
Person #1: But I care!
Person #2: What you care about is having an easy target to insult so you can feel a sense of superiority.
Person #1: That’s not true at all!
Person #2: That is completely true, and you will never stop lying to me.
Person #1: I’m trying to help you have more confidence!!

Another person heavily on drugs stumbles by..

Drug addict: You just.. gotta like.. be yourself.. man!!

The drug addict trips, almost falls, then continues stumbling on..

Person #2: Brilliant..
Person #1: He has a point!!
Person #2: Ya think I haven’t heard that a billion times already!?
Person #1: But you’re not doing it!!
Person #2: And this conversation isn’t helping me out either, and like I said, I just don’t want to talk about this, and like I said, please, leave me alone!!

Person #1 starts running away.. and then Person #2 starts chasing him..

Person #1: You can’t keep running away from your problems!!
Person #2: I’m running away from you!!
