Poetry Major or Depressed Teen?

By Shannon • Nov 21st, 2005 • Category: ModBlog

Is there a difference?

I need a father. I need a mother. I need some older, wiser being to cry to. I talk to God, but the sky is empty, and Orion walks by and doesn’t speak.
- Sylvia Plath

    if she’s quoting Sylvia Plath i’d say probly just depressed teen using a creative-ish outlet.
    Anyone who knows just a bit about poets know that Sylvia Plath wasn’t happy. ever.

    HA, that’s so tacky. It’s like quoting Nietzsche without reading his work (which would probably put you off).

    what does it matter if its depressing if it has personal relevance to her. Isn’t a bit pretentious to be the authority on good poetry Antishock? I’m sure people could pick apart a few of your favorites
