I don't think I could write a straight drama. — © David E. Kelley
I don't think I could write a straight drama.

Drama is hate. Drama is pushing your pain onto others. Drama is destruction. Some take pleasure in creating drama while others make excuses to stay stuck in drama. I choose not to step into a web of drama that I can't get out of.
The ego-drama is nothing compared with the theo-drama. The fun begins when we let God write our stories.
I could have guessed it all along, cuz now some drama queen is gonna write a song for me

I write as straight as I can, just as I walk as straight as I can, because that is the best way to get there.
