Memories Monologue Flashcards
I remember one of my favourite times with my friends was just playing
We’d okay anything, hide and seek, find the hidden toy, made up games, tag..
It was good, amazing fun
Never boring, always something new or exciting to do…. I miss that
We used to also go to the park a lot
Have little adventures or sit or talk, or even have little picnics with our favourite toys
It sounds silly but it was ours, just us and nothing else seemed to matter…I miss that
Or even just browsing around in shops
For books, magazines or treats..
Making sure I always had more than enough for what I wanted
Enjoying working hard to save up and independently get them
Something I could rely on myself to do…I miss that
And suddenly everything changed
Everything I loved just..grabbed and locked away from me
So unfair, and confusing
The only reason not being allowed to do those being that I’m a Jew
But why does that even matter?! We’re all the same!
No longer allowed to browse
No more independence
Urged out of shops, or even if I so happen to pause outside one
Any possibility I could go in, torn away
All because I’m a Jew?
Parks are a no-go
Even if I look at a sign, or gates to a park, I’m glared at
It does matter now
All this because I’m a Jew?
The most heart breaking of all is that I’m not allowed to see let alone play with my friends
Because apparently we’re different That never used to matter before! It never bothered us but it does matter now Because they’re aryan and I’m not Because I’m a Jew
Now all I have are these memories
And I pray each day I’ll wake up, and it’ll all be a dream
But even I know that’s too optimistic
This is the way it is now and I just have to..stick it out
It’s all i can do
Because I’m JUST a Jew
