Sylvia Plath

I am a writer. I am a poet. I am a genius.

I am so hungry for a good man. I am so hungry for a good woman.

I am so tired of being me. I am so tired of being alone.

I am so afraid of everything. I am so afraid of nothing.

I am so happy. I am so sad.

I am so full of contradictions. I am so full of myself.

I am so utterly alone. I am so utterly surrounded.

I am so utterly confused. I am so utterly clear.

I am so utterly human. I am so utterly divine.

I am so utterly beautiful. I am so utterly ugly.

I am so utterly strong. I am so utterly weak.

I am so utterly good. I am so utterly evil.

I am so utterly everything. I am so utterly nothing.

I am so utterly a child. I am so utterly an adult.

I am so utterly a genius. I am so utterly an idiot.

I am so utterly a success. I am so utterly a failure.

I am so utterly a dream. I am so utterly a nightmare.

I am so utterly a gift. I am so utterly a burden.

I am so utterly a hope. I am so utterly a despair.

I hate Jews, I hate Niggers, I hate Catholics—I hate everybody.
