After finding the song lyrics, the song Come into my world by Amy Grant really stood out to me. I am thinking of using those lyrics to open my piece.

However changing them slightly as I dont want my piece to be in the first person. I want the audience to think that I am telling someone elses story. So instead it will be:

Come into her world
So lovely from the outside
So dark in here the demons dance and twirl
And find their pleasure frightening this girl
If you are brave then come into her world

I have also been thinking about my piece and rather than my piece being about divorce as a whole, the piece being about how my mum let me down and it all started during the divorce. Once again though, I dont want to say ‘I’ or ‘me’, it will all be spoken as if about someone else.

When I was younger, I always used to ask my mum if she would love me forever. This gave me the idea of asking questions with really obvious yes questions. For example, Is the sky blue? and Is the grass green?

All of the above will be the beginning of my piece.

I still want to keep in the idea of the use of bandages. So I have decided to have boxes all around the space with bandages on top of them. I will also have a box attached to my ankle by a chain that will have items to do with how my mum let me down. I will then tell the story that is attached to that item.

I then want to recite a poem that I will write, while saying the poem I will be packing up the boxes to show that I am moving on from the pain my mum caused and getting on with life.
