alcohol is home.

I find magic in madness. Chaos is where we all began. Darkness is a realm of all possibilities, much similar to madness. Drunkenness is a state that frees us from ourselves... That is why I usually reside there. Judgement is suspended, and that calms me. I feel at home then. Is that not home? The place you can be yourself? That space where you unwind... A realm where you can simply be?

A profoundly silly piece. I can't be bothered to dig up the original Checkliste, but this bulgingly stupid offering certainly ticks a few dunce-boxes:

[X] Arbitrary line breaks
[X] Clerical errors
[X] Cliched imagery (gazing out of window, pits of despair)
[X] 'Depression' words (putrid, wretched, darkness)
[X] Devoid of alliteration or any such linguistic embellishments
[X] Devoid of rhyme
[X] Devoid of simile, reification or any such literary devices
[X] Devoid of wondrous or fantastical imagery
[X] Drug reference
[X] Melodramatic
[X] Overabundance of ellipses
[X] Pointedly unanswered questions
[X] Self-obsessed

It is a sad day that I must say that I miss my old nemesis!
