DRAMA

We all know someone who knows someone who is, lives,breathes, feeds, on drama.

The he said she said "ooooh child" "mmmhmmm" "yes girl!" Drama!

It starts like the stroke of a match and spreads like wildfire burning and destroying everything in it's path. Sterilizing fertile ground and bringing painful heat to the cool breeze of some of God's greatest work. 

Yea you know who I'm talking about.

And we know someone who has constantly let themselves fall victim to to the drama running around like an Olympic race trying to clear your name in order to regain and reclaim your defamated character like.... "no, I never said that" and "don't put words in my mouth" and by the time they've cleared it up they can't even remember who lit the match to begin with.

Yeah, that was me.

Guard up, always ready to jump on the defense. Feeling like people were out to get me. And instead of letting my haters be my motivators, I let them run me. Not focusing on the the good relationships because I was too distracted by the inevitable ends before me. 

I was so distracted by the side eyes and smacked teeth that I let it consume me forcing me to retrace my actions and my thoughts...I was so distracted by the side eyes and smacked teeth that I let it consume me forcing me to retrace my actions and my thoughts.

Then I'd stoop...

Like...."well let me tell you what she said about you" ignorant to the fact that doing that made me just as bad, if not worse than the ones who once turned on me.

But now its different you see, if I had a dollar for every time I cares about non factors talking about me I'd be poor and I'd be happy.

Keep the drama, I don't wanna know, don't fill me, don't spill the tea. I'm good! Cause I will never again be entangled by the web of deceit called drama.
