Juliet's Soliloquy

- Scene 3-

Why must my mother baby me as so?

She and nurse, they never leave me be.

When I consent to every silly whim

I get tired of never any freedom.

And I pray that one day I will be free

Free from their reign; their decision making

Control over every aspect of my life!

My heart and mind and soul and strength want out,

My body longs to take off all it’s chains.

When will I reach an age when I can choose?

Choose the path of life I want to take?

I’m not so young and can think for myself

I shall not be content to let this go

But I must comply with all my mum says

So it is with a heavy heart I say;

Yes mother, I will take heed of your speech

And try my best to live up to your will

I will seek out Paris and will try

To love him best I can for what I feel

Please take note I may not do it right,

For I don’t feel love so strong quite yet.

But we will grow in life and love it’s true,

Until we understand each other new!
