The fight of a lifetime

Person: Don’t look at me! I said don’t even look at me! You think it’s funny? Stop laughing!
Enemy: (silence)
Person: You can’t imagine what I’ve been through. You can’t imagine how hard I’ve been working to achieve this. And now you want to take it away from me? I can’t let that happen! I won’t let that happen… would I? Why don’t you say something?
Enemy: (silence)
Person: Oh, so you’re just going to throw it at my face like that, without even saying anything? Stop laughing!
Enemy: (Silence)
Person: You are killing me, you know! And I don’t get it – we’ve been fighting forever, couldn’t we just cut it off?
Enemy: (silence)
Person: This time, I was sure I won the war. I was so brave, so strong; I thought I’ve beaten you…Why couldn’t you just let me win once and forever?
Enemy: (silence)
Person: I guess it was just another battle victory, but not the end of the story. I am tired, you know? And even though that is terror in my eyes, as I feel that my success is slipping away right through my fingers, I must keep fighting. For everything that I want, for everything that I think of, for everything that holds me together…
Enemy: (silence)
Person: Ok, I have to admit that sometimes I may be thinking about giving up. Can you blame me for that? I hope that I won't do it, though. I need to keep fighting, as I can’t forget the feeling that my success gives me – being more confident, feeling good with myself – is it so much to ask for?!
Enemy: (silence)
Person: You are driving me crazy! I can’t stand you! I am going to make you shut up next time, I swear! And the fighting will be over once and for all!
Enemy: (silence)
Sarah: Ok, then! See you tomorrow!
The scales: (silence)

So what about you?
