l don’t want to be a drama queen
I’d rather be something in between
l don’t want to yell or raise my voice
to let you know that its MY choice
l don’t want to be a drama queen.
l don’t want to be a drama queen
I’d rather be something in between
l don’t want to be mean or rude
or tell you l don’t want your food
l don’t want to be a drama queen
l don’t want to be a drama queen
I’d rather be something in between
I don’t want to get in fights or brawls
l don’t want to blend in with the walls
l don’t want to be a drama queen
l don’t want to be a drama queen
I’d rather be something in between
l have my needs and preference
so treat me with some deference
l don’t want to be a drama queen.
I’d like to be nice in thought and deeds
while still attending to my needs
And still be helpful, and in charge
when dealing with the world at large.
I find that l can do these things
without the drama queens and kings
in fact l do much better than they,
when l remain above the fray.
I don’t want to give a drama projection
I don’t want to deal with those who do.
So if you’re leaning in that direction
Then l’ll just stay away from you!
I don’t want to be a drama queen.
Lorraine Brooks performs her poem, No Drama, on January’s Diabetes Late Nite with music from Maria Callas.
