I can’t be around you and not be affected.
You are my biggest area of influence.
I can’t be around you and not be affected.
You have leveled me out & I have become your equalizer.
You are as I am.
Somehow balance has been achieved.
It’s that feel good intoxication, minus the morning after.
We’ve been tempered like steel & refined with purpose.
Be careful what you do, be careful what you say.
Liquor is the ultimate truth serum; it demands that we be true to our nature.
“It provokes and unprovokes; it provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance.” – William Shakespeare (Macbeth)

“Write drunk; edit sober.” -Earnest Hemingway
“Write drunk — drunken with emotion. Whether in love or pain; hatred or joy, write intoxicated and completely wasted in the moment.
Edit sober — when all the winds have calmed, and when your eyes are cleared from the poison of life. Clean it up and make your pain presentable.” -Brittany Rose (elaborating on Hemingway)
This quote describes how I approach writing poetry.
