Letters to Romeo, Juliet, And Shakespeare

Part I: Letters to Shakespeare

Dear Mr. Shakespeare

I do not like you

I do not like you at all

-

You ruined my life

With your stupid little

"Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet"

-

Tell me, sir,

Why me?

-

Why did you pick me

Out of all people

To be in this stupid thing?

-

You're a play writer known

For your stories of tragedy

And you just thought it'd be

Oh so funny

To make it real?!

-

If you truly were known

For your tragic stories

My version of Romeo and Juliet

Should be right up there

On the number one spot

-

Sure, I didn't kill myself

But what happened to me was much worse

And killed me inside

-

Most of your story came true

-

Romeo and Juliet

They met by chance

Without even knowing each others' names

-

They kept their love a secret

For fear of getting caught

Because they weren't

Supposed to be together

-

Juliet's father

Found out

And forbade her to be with him

-

Being the girl she is

She continued to date him

Behind her father's back

-

They didn't elope

They had school

This is, afterall,

The modern version

Of Romeo and Juliet

-

Romeo left of course

But that's not where the story ends, remember?

-

Romeo came back

He wasn't thrown out of town
