All I need is Drama


My heart was filled with dust, it's true 

I could neither cry for me or for you. 

My emotions were forever dried up 

Only spitting out pre-recorded sayings

like an old asnwering machine, annoying.

I was outside the world looking in, neither feeling, hearing, seeing...understanding.

 

Why is it that I try so hard to fit in yet I am unable to?

 

Turned out all I needed was a small jump for my heart to start again,

Bump, BUmp, BUMp, BUMP!

The tears flowed, I cried out in empathy and pain,

And yet the only thing I needed to make my heart start again was Korean Dramas.

Korean Dramas I cannot live without they have brought me back from the underworld, back to the light.

They have showed me that I'm not alone and even if they are just actors, they have taught me how to feel again.

 

The first time in years I sobbed for my own pain.

The tears like rain in the amazon fell

Washing away all doubt and any sense of dread.

South Korean drama though they seem insignificant brought about the change in my lifes story.

Therefore it is the one thing I cannot live without

I was born in Detroit, Michigan and I love to write. Writing was my first passion before I started drawing; however, writing still holds a place in my heart. Aside from that, I love watching Korean, Japanese, and Chinese dramas and I love Korean Pop music. My dream i to create my own manga and visit both South Korea and Japan.
