#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.’

Lost Blood

the lost daughter of

Sylvia Plath.

who am I?

we share the same Daddy

we watch the figs rot together.

lost colourful dust

we could've molded it

she

could have

who is she?

who am I?

if my blood is

red

why are my veins

blue?

i don't trust my eyes

or my mind

they can't seek

the one thing I've lost

where's my Daddy?

such a rotten fig

squeezed in my fingers,

oozing blood.

i don't trust my eyes

or my lost blood

Every woman adores a Fascist,    The boot in the face, the brute    Brute heart of a brute like you.

You stand at the blackboard, daddy,    In the picture I have of you, A cleft in your chin instead of your foot    But no less a devil for that, no not    Any less the black man who

Bit my pretty red heart in two. I was ten when they buried you.    At twenty I tried to die And get back, back, back to you. I thought even the bones would do.

—Sylvia Plath, from “Daddy”

My fig tree

I want to be everything yet nothing at the same time

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

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?
