the muse asked of drama

The Muse asked of Drama,

Why me?

When you can have any of these other women?

I am not nosy; I do not try to make friends or enemies,

but simply fade into the background.

Drama said to the Muse,

It is because I hate you.

I hate that you are taller than me. I hate that you

are younger and more beautiful. It’s these petty reasons,

our own insecurities.

You are too good to fade into the background.
