Stupid Therapy

Unstable

Scene 1

"It's a fantastic night, isn't it? Feels like someone up there enjoys putting me through this" said the Boy, disappointed.

"Oh what are you saying? You put yourself through this, don't victimize yourself now, Boy." said The Man.

The Boy was laying on the couch. He was looking down at the floor, touching the floor. Imagining how it must feel to die falling and hitting the concrete after he dreamed about it.

The Man was sitting on a chair, looking at the boy, disappointed as well but for other reasons, he was disappointed because the boy was depressed, anxious and losing hope. He didn't want to see the boy like that. He knew this boy. This boy was him once.

"How about you compose something? It could be so good that you might feel better, you'd be proud of it" said the Man.

The boy shrugged.

"Why? It's hopeless." said the Boy.

"Come on, she might let you down, unintentionally or not, but you can't let me down. I never let you down. Chin up, boy, you're supposed to be strong like you were. Like a soldier that goes to war, against the wind, piercing through enemy lines like a glorious Roman spear. Fearlessly searching for your enemies and ruthlessly destroying them. Where's that Boy?" asked the Man.

"I don't know. He must've lost his way home after he met this girl. I can't blame him, I would be so amazed and excited that I'd lose my way home too."  said the Boy.

"What would you like to say to her, boy?" asked the Man.

The Boy closed his eyes and started to think as his tears began to drip down his cheek.

He then said:

My dear,

My heart serenades

you with pain,

It's probably too late

to restrain

The thoughts that make

me insane

About you

Oh if I knew

that my days would've changed

when you gracefully came

Into

My world, a world of hatred

I'd say,

Hatred contained that faded away when

I replaced hate with your name.

A name so...

The boy stopped and cried.

The Man then said:

"Continue, boy. Everything is okay."

The Boy then wiped his tears but keeps his eyes closed, he just wiped it because it bothers him. And then he said:

"It sucks. It's not good, there's nothing to be proud about it, this won't help" 

"Don't worry about that Boy, just say what you feel. I can help you find a rhythm for it afterwards and then we do some adjustments" said the Man

"I don't think it works like that, I need her, she's my source of inspiration, she's what makes my soul guide my hands as I write, not me." said the Boy.

"I see. You're sad. Let the anger flow back inside. Tell me your frustrations instead, Boy." said the Man.

The boy wiped his tears again but this time he opened his eyes. He stared directly at the floor. And said:

I got time to kill

yet time kills me,

I can't hide this I feel

dying inside me,

The anxiety

That I try to deal

with amplifies it

You can't reply and

I see,

You tantalize

me,

even in my

dreams

but there you reply me

with things that I wish I didn't hear

Time just seems to pass slowly,

I wish I could sleep through it all, dear

But I have no more medicine for this

So let's just ignore me,

treat it like a game

Oh you're already ignoring me,

I think you like playing this.

I guess you like playing this.

Foolish Heart

Scene 2

"I give up, I think you're fucking stupid. I'm just starting to realize that." says The Man

The Boy looks down and says:
"Couldn't agree more."

"Maybe I should kill you. Like, you know, kill the boy so that the man can be born" says The Man.

"Please end my suffering, I beg you." says the Boy.

The Man is livid.

"You let me down. I'm sorry you can't die from a lover's leap for her" - The Man said as he pulled out his gun - "but you know what? I don't think you even deserve it, you're just fucking worthless like that. Just die. You let me down." The Man says.

The Man shoots the Boy in the forehead, finally putting an end to the Boy's suffering. He spits on his body and walks away.

"This is all you deserve." He says.
