"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


They constantly told me
that my first love

would be a handsome boy
who'd save me

or a pretty girl
who'd hold me.

So i searched the world
for another,

never knowing that
my first love

should have been
me.

"I understand that love and tragedy go hand in hand, for there can’t be one without the other, but nonetheless I find myself wondering wether the tradeoff is fair."
-Nicholas Sparks

 I love the irony!! :) That is so true and I didn't even think about that, I love this poem!
