Drama


Drama

Drama is defined as “a composition in verse or prose intended to portray life or character or to tell a story usually involving conflicts and emotions through action and dialogue and typically designed for theatrical performance”.

I know all to well about Drama. As I have had my fair share of it early in life. I have had Life, Drama, Baby Mama Drama, Car Drama, Family Drama, Relationship Drama, and Friend Drama. So if the above is the actual definition of drama why must it find me? I did not set out on life to be neither an actress nor a director.
If this thing called Drama is supposed to be played out on a stage, why does it find me in real life.
Is this a lifetime movie, willing for an actual end?
Shall the words that are used to describe an emotion be so fruitfully played out that the real reality can not be found?
I have a life to live and a family to tend too.
I have got stars to catch and love to nurture.
I did not ask for you Drama, so go your own way.
Please never find me again in another day.
So I say to you this word Drama leave me alone, find another stage to play.
My curtain has closed and there is no room for you to stay.
The lights have been shut off and the applause has stopped, there is no room for you Drama in this Lot.
Go back to your dressing room and take off your costume.
Remove the makeup and tell me what you see.
Is it a face so cruel you can’t even see?
But first you must walk the line of the real life where, battles are fought and friendships are lost, and love is UN recognizable.
Drama is inevitable but knowing the real from the fake is where truth is recognized.
