• I can't remember what it felt like to feel 'normal'.

    I can't remember what it felt like to wake up and not wish I hadn't.

    I can't remember what it felt like to not want to die.

    I can't remember what my body looked like without the scars.

     

    I read her poems and they made sense to me. Especially the one titled 'Elm'. My favourite part is when she says: 'I am terrified by this dark thing that sleeps in me; all day I feel its soft, feathery turnings, its malignity'. It felt like what I wanted to say, but couldn't. I read her book and it felt true. Sylvia Plath has always been my favourite poet, and the 'Bell Jar' has always been one of my favourite books.

    I can't help but feel the weight pressing in, and I wish I could sleep easier, because sleeping is my favourite thing right now.
