Why turn my life
into some strange
and utterly contrived..
live action fan-made
spin-off.. of Wuthering
(or more like Withering)
Heights?

Why do you reckon
that we sprinkle
spices on our food?
Because so often,
in their absence..
life is bland,
in truth.

Most people
get their fix of drama
from consuming
entertainment,
for the most part..
and that is well and good,
I do not judge them..
but I take my spice from
living life as if it’s art.

It isn’t always pretty,
yay, it isn’t always nice..
sometimes I play
the villain..
other times
I am a hero
in disguise.

One truth is certain..
it is that I always
live it free.
Whatever fruits
I pluck from branches
of my tree..
I serve the same way
that I live..
with just a sprinkle
of dramatic authenticity.
