The Ballad of the Dramatic

The Ballad of the Dramatic

A Poem by Blake Q Hatfield

She thinks it's suicide when she doesn't get her way
She thinks you should always abide to the things she says
But there's nothing comprehendable coming out of her mouth
There's no sense in her head, mind void of substance and soul

Stuck on the CW over dramatic episodes
Of teens with lives so great that they explode
With every moment of giving in, loss of self control
Just another uncontrollable mistake you should learn to let go
Because she should be the only one, the center of the world

She thinks it's suicide when you don't pay attention
To every single thing, every move and motion
Reacting like a child, shouting at the world
Your life is of no matter, she thinks you should let it go
It's her world now, her time to steer, to be the captain at the wheel

And you fell for every dirty trick, sugar coated and laced
With all the feelings and emotions you always wanted to know
What you thought was real was merely the quiet before the storm
Of all the crazy things she put you through, cuts at your soul
You're no more than a toy in her juvenile world

She thinks it's suicide when she doesn't get her way
When the world refuses to bow to her ego, crown her as a gilded Queen
Not seeing that's there nothing there but unearned confidence
Plenty of rhetorical sound, but not a true word said
It felt like a great death, every word you wasted, every moment you spent
With the one who entrapped you in an over dramatic scene
But that was the one, she was the one, the perfect one to mess with your head
Here you are on edge, wondering how the hell you were blinded so
You've become changed, your world rearranged
Thinking that suicide would be the way to finally let go
To get her out of your mind, forget ever being in her world
So she can use your lackluster fall for her ego's fire
And become the Queen of some other fool's broken world
