#poem is daddy by sylvia plath

[ivynightshade]

little girl, you'll grow up, but the malice on your tongue will forever be the words of your father. / every time he opens his mouth, you think it's to shout. it's not. // what are memories of childhood if not quicksand? swallowing you whole.

fatima aamer bilal, excerpt from moony moonless sky’s ‘shame is a girl’s second skin.’

if you hold me without hurting me, you will be the first who ever did.

it's national poetry month. thank you poems for sometimes saving my life when i need it the most

[tanniesluvsworld]

Whenever I think of a better life

You always leave me behind

And I am finally able to smile

So I truly apologize

For dreaming of a better life

Without you by my side

Sylvia Plath, Ariel; Daddy.

[devilsadvcate]

I cried about my father for the first time yesterday—

Or, at least it felt like the first.

The way the sobs continued pouring from my chest felt like the only time I’d ever cried;

It felt like the only source of sadness in the world at the time, and I singlehandedly carried it all.

Well, it might as well have been the first time I cried for my father, because the shock was that of a newcomer:

Who else but a stranger could have expected anything different from my dad?

an original by me

i always have a heavy heart heavy heart and everyday hitting heavy ground i like falling falling till i see nothing i see nothing and i still see everything except you

[lizziessecretcorner]

never wrote poems about my father

his face is blurry

not ready yet to feel his touch

so,

hi dad

i always wondered

why’d you chose her over me

you called me your princess,

remember?

i don’t need lessons

i need my daddy telling me he loves me

you’re not a man

just a boy dressing up as an adult

are you lost?

i won’t apologize

i try to think sometimes that you tried to do your best

i miss being a little girl

she has you now

i hope you’re happy

you were the first man in my life

still just a man after all

it’s in your nature.

do you think about me sometimes?

do you miss me?

no.

I remind you of my mother.

i can’t choose.

i am sorry,

i’ll disappear,

like a little mishap in your life.

"Sylvia Plath Reads 'Daddy'"

[spilladabalia]

Sylvia Plath reads Daddy

[unhealthyobsessionweyes]

Daddy, I have had to kill you.   

You died before I had time——

Marble-heavy, a bag full of God,   

Ghastly statue with one gray toe   

Big as a Frisco seal

Daddy, by Sylvia Plath
