don't follow me, i'm lost too

the slime of all my yesterdays
rots in the hollow of my skull

and if my stomach would contract
because of some explicable phenomenon
such as pregnancy or constipation

I would not remember you

or that because of sleep
infrequent as a moon of greencheese
that because of food
nourishing as violet leaves
that because of these

and in a few fatal yards of grass
in a few spaces of sky and treetops

a future was lost yesterday
as easily and irretrievably
as a tennis ball at twilight


— sylvia plath, april 18

i mean, really. i could’ve been wild and i could’ve been free but nature played this trick on me

i wish i could keep a diary, or a journal or personal record of some sort. i think lovely inspiring excellent things, and terrible heartbreaking destructive things, and then lose them all in the throes of my mind, which is usually all wound up and worrying. i worry so much that i can’t see past myself most of the time. i would rather be a babbling fool than think of things to the extent that i do. i can’t, can’t, can’t shut it off, the worst thing in the world. my mind has a mind of its own, i mean, it isn’t mine at all… i guess this could be a “personal outlet” trite as it is, god that’s bad. i’m in search of a place to store things away so that i don’t need to think about them anymore…
