You dislike drama
You tell yourself that you should read more self-help books
They sit on your shelf and you know them by heart
Like a good Catholic should know her saints
All these book meetings
You meet others with similar assertions
They tell you to love yourself
They paint white, big-toothed smiles on their faces
Dressing in bright-colored dresses
Looking like characters out of a Jane Austen novel
They read self-help books
Like "Getting the Love You Want", "The Way of Zen" and "Creative Spark"
They invite you to meetings
Where everyone gives their testimonies
They too hate drama
Together, you and they bemoan the entitlement culture
