Yes im doing Hamlet (William Shakespeare)
But the only reason why im uploading this boring stuff is so that i can memorise it while lying in bed on my ipodtouch (Y) haha, yea i don't have a printer. SO YERR here it is...
I am now standing here before you today on behalf of a beloved and noble man along with the citizens of Denmark.
In loving memory for a person whom we all loved dearly, cherished wholeheartedly and miss tremendously.
For as i stand here today i do not wish to present myself to you as Gertrude, Queen of Denmark, but as Gertrude, mother of Hamlet and wife of Hamlet senior, King of Denmark.
Today we shall remember, remember the hardships, triumph’s and cheerfulness of such a noble man, who has performed and completed many difficult and enduring tasks in order to keep us safe, to protect us and to love us.
Throughout Denmark, Hamlet was well-known not only for his warm heart and loving nature, but for his brave personality and fearless tactics. Therefore we can all, as one take this opportunity to thank Him.
Thank him for keeping us safe during his era, thank him for fearlessly fighting away our enemies and thank him for providing security to the people of Denmark. Thank him, and remember him.
As well as being a devoted king, Hamlet was also a noble father and loving husband.
He was not exactly the most romantic, compared to other men of chivalry, but he was noble, and always knew what needed to be done, completing tasks with ease.
With a pre-determined marriage by my parents, laying my life before me without feeling the need to inform me or consult me first, i was therefore unwilling to meet you, but i eventually had, due to securing my future and well-being.
I was not one to easily fall in love, with my personality and poor efforts love did not come easily at first for us, but as Hamlet stayed by my side and continued to show compassion, i found myself, unwillingly but genuinely falling in love.
And even though i have told you before, i again apologize for all the hardship’s i had put you through leading up to our marriage.
I still remember the day that we met, standing face to face, with a mere separation of 5metres, your parents behind you and mine behind myself also standing behind us.
I was reluctant as well as childish and therefore ran off, seeing the disappointment on my parents faces as i fled through the castle doors with the guilt burning inside me. Before i turned around to flee, i distinctly remember your expression.
You expressed a shot of sadness through your fine eye brows as they creased inwards. But as you were back then, with the same courage you still posses, as soon as my head turned the opposite direction and i began to run, i heard your footsteps come after me.
I did not expect you to chase after me that day, but you had and so i decided to give you a chance. You stayed by me and for that i thank you.
We had our days, some i wished we had not met and others i felt like i really did belong with you, but you as i say this truthfully were the most handsome man i had ever met.
Captivating others with your high brows and aquiline nose, presenting yourself handsomely in any uniform you wore.
Only now that you are gone is when i truly appreciate what we as a society have lost, but also what I as a wife has lost.
In remembrance of King Hamlet, i wish to express this poem
To the living, I am gone,
To the sorrowful, I will never return,
To the angry, I was cheated,
But to the happy, I am at peace,
And to the faithful, I have never left.
I cannot speak, but I can listen.
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.
So as you stand upon a shore gazing at a beautiful sea-
As you look upon a flower and admire its simplicity-
Remember me.
Remember me in your heart:
Your thoughts, and your memories,
Of the times we loved,
The times we cried,
The times we fought,
And the times we laughed.
For if you always think of me, I will never have gone.
A sense of security and protection, something to truly be remembered, Hamlet was not only a loyal king, but a loving father and devoted lover.
The most admirable aspect about your personality i feel is you’re longing to strive towards what is right; I had always wished i obtained that same personality trait as yours.
And with this said I’d now like to take this as an opportunity to thank you, on behalf of the people of Denmark, i thank you.
For everything you have done the people you have helped and loved, but also for the courage and patience to stay by my side.
Thank you for being the stable and simplistic man whom will be missed dearly.
Thank you and good bye.

You can be the tears that i cry if we ever split
Relationships are stupid, in the end i only ever get hurt.
So fk it, time to party and get drunk.
Might as well be a teenager while i can.
