-Sylvia Plath


I have an internal silence (about me) that brethes out to my skin.

I am comfortable now-better than I've ever been.

An awareness-an eye-a blip in time.

It may seem that I'm still depressed.

Maybe I am, Maybe I'm not.

Depression is sneaky like that-much like a demon or a clever ghost.

I've been set free, I am one with the Earth.

She whispers her secrets

I listen to her words.

My new found intelligence

sets me apart from the rest.

The silence of my mind and mouth

is full of tranquility and zest.


The author's comments:

I am new to this site and would love some feedback and to make some connections. I think my poem speaks for itself really. And i also don't really believe in telling the meaning of your poetry, because i want possible readers to take it in their own way! Love to whoever may be reading this. xx
