Sylvia Plath

Psychotic pain rips her flesh from bone
Leaving her ragged skeletal shadow brutally
Assaulted by maniacal horror imperceptible to the mentally normal
Temptation conquers her and she welcomes serene death with poisonous applause, gas her invisible
Hangman’s noose-forever silencing her

Dark words, sad... hope, We all have pains and sorrows, how we approach them is the difference between sane and insane. Hope for a brighter morning, hope...
