"I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defense the only arms I allow myself to use -- silence, exile, and cunning.”
-James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man


I was always drunk around you,

But I didn't have to drink

You already made me feel warm 

As you burned me from the inside,

You hurt my throat and burned my mind.

And I know that you're bad for me

because I don't like the person I've become.

But it feels so good to feel something

And you're all that's left

And you're all that's there.

I've formed a habit. 

And I'd rather be drunk than nothing at all.
