Sylvia Plath
Image
But writing poems and letters doesn't seem to do much good.

I wanted change and excitement and to shoot off in all directions myself, like the colored arrows from a Fourth of July rocket.
Sylvia Plath
Image

Sylvia Plath

Sylvia Plath
Image
I hadn't, at the last moment, felt like washing off the two diagonal lines of dried blood that marked my cheeks. They seemed touching, and rather spectacular, and I thought I would carry them around with me, like the relic of a dead lover, till they wore off of their own accord.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Let's face it: I'm scared, scared and frozen. First, I guess, I'm afraid for myself...the old primitive urge for survival. It's getting so I live every moment with terrible intensity.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I wish you’d find the exit out of my head.
Sylvia Plath
Image
The man creates a pseudonym and hides behind it like a worm
Sylvia Plath
Image
When they asked me what I wanted to be I said I didn't know.
Sylvia Plath
Image
The only thing I could think of was turkey neck and turkey gizzards and I felt very depressed.
Sylvia Plath
Image
There is nothing like puking with somebody to make you into old friends.
