Elphaba'seyes
( Ok some people expressed an interest in reading these, so here they are or some of them. The piece it's self sucked..but the words are nice. Here you go.)

Note: In this play I was writing, Nessa's spirit is ressurected by Madame Morrible to do her bidding...God help us all. No seriously, I mean the people going to see this play. LOL anyway...here's her little lament after she's come to her senses.


Nessa Rose's Lament

Away with this pretense,
I've finally come to my senses.

Has my soul become so withered,
From being lost and alone forever,
that the very things that I despised I have become.

In the mirror, who is this looking back at me?
This girl in the mirror, we're not the same, I and she.

She is cold as ice upon a flower,
She is cruel and her voice trembles with the power that
her body lacks.

Once she has done something she will not take it back,
For all the hurt it's caused.
Her heart is shriveled and black and all her beauty is for not...OH OZ!

This girl in the mirror,
This woman who I see,
This girl in the mirror,
she's nothing like me.

This girl has no home,
this girl is all alone.
This girl's heart is stone,
This girl will die..has died alone.

This girl in the mirror,
who mocks and jeers at me.
This cruel witch in the mirror,
I refuse to believe
That this girl in the mirror,
is...me.

( Liir comforts her saying he understands, yadda yadda yadda mushy mushy then Nessa says this. Keep in mind Elphaba is alive...but being held prisoner somewhere, Nessa would know because of Madame Morrible. So she tells them.)

Liir, I see your mother's eyes are still watching over me,
From heaven or where ever she may be.
I only hope, you can forgive me this.
I never wanted to be a wicked witch.
But it happened and even death could not set me free,
So really were not so different..Elphaba and me.

Though it's too late now, to ever make amends.
Can you some how forgive me, my friends?

Though I cannot, undo what I have done.
The words I've spoken cannot return once they've begun.
But I can help...for I knew the Wicked well.

Now I'll tell:

( Think reprise of western sky here.)

If you care to find her, look to the southern sky!
Through a walled canyon, atop a hillside high.
You'll find her there, but take care when you try.
Make sure that you're not noticed, make certain no one sees.
and when you see my sister...ask her to forgive me!


( This next one is one of the ones I am most proud of, my pidgeon latin is hillarious but that's my grimmary speech, you should see my elvish dialect I am creating for my dragon story. This is nothing. lol here it is...Elphaba is in her cell and she thinks basically her entire family is dead. Liir, Fiyero etc. She doesn't know Liir has gone to Glinda for help...nor that Fiyero escaped the soldiers that took them...but she keeps this hope alive, she is also quite mad at the powers that be. So this came about.)

I want my happy ending.

Elphaba: Aviditum Malicafarum Tyrranus! Patronus Eternum veritum Amorus!


Let them be saved, let all others fall. Let them persevere through it all!

Never let them be touched by the tyrants surrounding them, may me love and your protection ever be grounding them.

Aviditum Malicafarum tyrranus! Patronis Eternum veritum Amorus!

( Is begging now) Please, whatever I've done...whatever I did, punish me for it but let them live!
There not to blame, surely you see!

Unless...unless by punishing them you'd be punishing me..

( her anger builds as she realises) I see...NOW I SEE!


(I WANT MY HAPPY Ending)


Is just one happy ending, too much to ask you for?
You can't want us to suffer, I know that can't be true.
Is just one tiny taste of happy ever after, so much to ask you for?
Just this once can't there be light beyond the storm?

I want my happy ending!
I want it now!
I think it's time I go what everyone is promised, but so few are allowed.
I want my happy ever after, my silver lining, my dream come true.
Don't you think that I deserve it, after all you've put me through?

They say your merciful, but I'm yet to see it.
They say that you're giving, so give me something to believe it!

I want my happy ending!
I won't be overlooked this time.
I may be different then you intended,
but there must be some reason your keeping me alive.
I want my piece of heaven, I want the reward I'm do.
And if you can't give it to me, then tell me what good are you?

Why did you let me have them?
Why did you let me see?
All the things you would take from me,
do you mean to torture me?

If happiness isn't in my future,
why was it in my life at all?
If love is not meant for me,
Then why did you let me fall?

I want my happy ending!
I won't be denied!
If I seem stubborn, then so be it!
I only want what's mine.
How can you punish those I love,
For the things I've done...you think I'll do.

I want my happy ending!
I'm your child too!


This is sort of cute it is Elphaba talking about Liir, then Fiyero, then Glinda.

Just like me/you/her

Elphaba:

Color and gender put aside,
There's no denying the boy is mine.
With that subborn way, That refusal to behave.
The denial of all things others crave.
The urge to make a difference, to defy,
That never ending, overwhelming, urge to fly!

He's just like me, I've know it from the star.
He's just like me, inside you can't tell the two of us apart.
people may not see it, no one may believe it.
But in my heart I know it's true, he's just like me.

Fiyero:

Look at him, Elphaba! Just look at him!

That charm, that strength, that pride.
That courage that comes from deep inside.
The will so strong it cannot die.

he's just like you!

And all those things I love about you,
That make it so I can't live without you,
I see them all within in him day by day,
So I say: Thank Oz..he's just like you!


( When Liir get's to Glinda's palace they argue, she doesn't believe he is Elphie's son as she think's she is dead. It isn't until Liir goes off on her ranting she sees...she sings this:

Glinda:

Those eyes...that will...the urge to embrace, coupled with the urge to kill.
That voice, that soul! The loving heart that makes you whole.
OH OZ! You're just like her!

I how long I've wanted to believe it to be true.

I gave up some time ago,
Trying to change what happened long ago.
I never dreamed my chance would come in you.

You're just like her.
I can see it in your eyes.
You're just like her,
and the part of me that died, when she died.
Seems to come to life again in you.

You're just like her...it's true.


( Which leads to this)

Glinda's Promise


So much of my life, has been spent
in creating Illusions.
So that it may appear, I am strong and have no doubt or fear.

For these people need me,
and for their sake I have lied.
But none of them could ever know the me that lies inside.

Only you, my dearest, trusted friend
Ever knew, what I came to in the end.
You saw behind the mask I had to wear,
You taught me pride, but I was never there
when you needed me.

I thought, my chance had passed me bye.
Then fate sent me this, and I'm starting to know why.
I think it's time for Glinda the good, to do what you always knew I could.

I know you're out there somewhere,
Hear me , feel me as I swear.
There is no burden I won't shoulder,
no weight I will not help you bear.

Wait for me, I'll find you.
If you do, I'll come through!

I will never leave you, never forsake you again.
I will do anything and everything, if it means seeing you again!

Like a ship to water,
Like wind to a sail,
I will always be there,
I will never fail.

Hold fast to this promise, when the world causes you pain.
I will find you in the darkness, and make things right again.
I'll be there, I swear it's true.
For it seems fate is leading me and it's leading me to you!

For you've changed me, in ways you could never know.
and now, now it's time to show that..

That...because I knew you...I have been changed...FOR GOOD!


I Couldn't Be Happier
This wasn't bad at all. For all your protesting beforehand, I thought this was cool.

It was very creative. I especially liked the "He's just like you" song.

Granted I do like happy endings, and it's about time book Elphaba wised up and admitted that she too deserves and wants one.

Also, you didn't kill Fiyero heartbeat.gif

Hey, throw in a steak dinner and I'll buy a ticket front and center.

The ICBH

THAT WAS SO GOOD! heartbeat.gif

The part about Nessa's resurrection and the part with Elphaba being imprisoned were very interesting! (Reminded me of the Pirate Queen a little bit...)

I thoroughly enjoyed that Eyes!

You are an unbelievable and creative writer.

Thank you SO much for sharing. smile.gif
