Aloneness and selfness are too important to betray for company.
SYLVIA PLATHAloneness and selfness are too important to betray for company.
SYLVIA PLATHI find myself absolutely fulfilled when I have written a poem.
SYLVIA PLATHIt is so much safer not to feel, not to let the world touch me.
SYLVIA PLATHI am dead to them, even though I once flowered.
SYLVIA PLATHThe abstract kills, the concrete saves.
SYLVIA PLATHI want to be able to sleep in an open field, to travel west, to walk freely at night.
SYLVIA PLATHI like people too much or not at all. I’ve got to go down deep, to fall into people, to really know them.
SYLVIA PLATHThe abstract kills, the concrete saves.
SYLVIA PLATHPlease, I want so badly for the good things to happen.
SYLVIA PLATHPlease don’t expect me to always be good and kind and loving. There are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.
SYLVIA PLATHLove is a shadow. How you lie and cry after it
SYLVIA PLATHThe sheets grow heavy as a lecher’s kiss.
SYLVIA PLATHPerhaps some day I’ll crawl back home, beaten, defeated. But not as long as I can make stories out of my heartbreak, beauty out of sorrow.
SYLVIA PLATHIntoxicated with madness, I’m in love with my sadness.
SYLVIA PLATHI am too pure for you or anyone.
SYLVIA PLATHThe truth comes to me. The truth loves me.
SYLVIA PLATH
