What is a good monologue that is about a CRAZY, psycho girl?

Could anyone recommend a compelling monologue about a mentally unstable or unpredictable young woman? I'm looking for something intense and dramatic that could captivate a judge’s attention and truly impress them. Any suggestions?

One of my favourite monologues is Lizzie Borden from blood relations.

Here it is:Did you know papa killed my birds with the axe? He chopped off their heads…it’s all right. At first I felt bad, but I feel better now. I feel much better now…I am a woman of decision, Mrs. Borden. When I decided to do things, I do them. Yes, I do. (smiles) How many times has Papa said – when Lizzie puts her mind to a thing, she does it – and i do…It’s always me who puts the slug poison out because they eat all the flowers and you don’t like that, do you? They’re bad things, they must die. You see, not all life is precious, is it?

(Mrs. Borden attempts to casually leave)

Where’re you going?

Just a minute…I would like you to look into my eyes. What’s the matter? Nothing’s wrong. It’s an experiment…Look right into them. Tell me…What do you see? Can you see anything?

Yes. When a person dies, retained on her eye is the image of the last thing she saw. Isn’t that interesting?

Do you know something? If I were to kill someone, I would come up behind them very slowly and quietly. They would never even hear me, they would never turn around.

They would be too frightened to turn around even if they heard me. They would be so afraid they’d see what they feared.

(Mrs. Borden makes a move which might be an effort to go past Lizzie back down the stairs. Lizzie stops her)

Careful. Don’t Fall.

(Mrs. Borden turns and slowly continues up the stairs with Lizzie behind her)

And then, I would strike them down. With them not turning around, they would retain no image of me on their eye. It would be better that way.

I cut out a few lines because they were responces, and it did not make a lot of sense alone. What I like about this monologue is that is not overly dramatic, as some monologues are which make you tend to over act. It is very subtle but allows for the actor to show a transition in character. It is also “based” on a true story, of a girl who killed her father and stepmother. Do some research, and draw from the story when practising… best of luck!

This one is said by a guy about a girl, but you could change the gender, I guess:

DAN: She left a note. Did you know that?

[Pause.]

She left a note that she was doing it for me.

[Pause.]

For me. Because she knew I didn’t want her anymore.

[Pause.]

What’s horrible is it was true. I didn’t want her. I was ready to walk away and she knew it. I was gonna wash my hands of the whole ******* thing—find some sane girl and start over—someone who didn’t play mind games all the ******* time—someone who didn’t question my every motive—someone who didn’t scare the hell out of me. You know, there were times I was actually afraid she might kill me. My own wife. I was afraid she might poison the milk or stick me with a steak knife in the middle of the night. Honest to god. I was afraid to go to sleep.

[Pause.]

Sometimes, I think the only reason she didn’t is she knew this would hurt more. This would stay with me.

[Pause.]

If you want to go—

[Pause.]

I know I’m kind of a head-case right now.

[Pause.]

I just don’t want to think about it. I keep seeing her in that pool of blood … the way I found her … with her wrists and … it was all over her nightgown … the one I’d bought her for Christmas … her eyes were all glassy … like you see in the movies … like a dead fish … like a dead ******* fish with its wrists slit, but it’s my wife, and it’s real, and I can’t get that picture out of my head. I want it to go away. I want it to go away like a bad dream, but—

[Pause.]

It hasn’t yet.
