i finished the catcher in the rye last night and this poem by plath has reminded me of that. i never noticed when i lost that innocence. i didnt even know. i was probably too young, but when i see it with younger kids it makes me sad. like yr 7s telling me they're 'gonna finger me tonight' as i was walking down to spanish class one afternoon. he wouldnt even know what it ment.
how do you get over that if you're a parent? i suppose there are lots of things we want to keep locked away but fortunately good things should come with bad. without that loss of innocence and growing up there would be so much goodness we would never experience.
''even the bad times were good'' - jean w.
child by sylvia plath
Your clear eye is the one absoloutely beautiful thing.
I want to fill it with colour and ducks, The zoo of the new
Whose names you meditate -
April snowdrops, Indian pipe,
Little
Stalk without wrinkle
Pool in which images should be grand and classical
Not this troublous
Wringing of hands, this dark
ceiling without a star
shakespeares sonnet 138
When my love swears that she is made of truth,
I do believe her though I know she lies,
That she might think me some untutored youth, Unlearned in the world’s false subtleties.
Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young,
Although she knows my days are past the best,
Simply I credit her false-speaking tongue:
On both sides thus is simple truth suppressed:
But wherefore says she not she is unjust?
And wherefore say not I that I am old?
o love’s best habit is in seeming trust,
And age in love, loves not to have years told:
Therefore I lie with her, and she with me,
And in our faults by lies we flattered be.
stay indoors and mope.
tightening that rope.
i’m getting burnt more times than i have before.
i’ve realised once more
that everyone’s a whore.
My faggot hair.
and stupid clothes.
look good inside closed doors.
can’t take this anymore..
fall in love, every other day.
then out of love into space.
worlds that i create.
Sure, marriage is self-expression, but if only my art, my writing, isn’t just a mere sublimation of my sexual desires which will run dry once I get married
If only I can find him… the man who will be intelligent, yet physically magnetic and personable. If I can offer that combination, why shouldn’t I expect it in a man?

my mum woke me up in a panic going its 8 o clock shit shit
i went downstairs looked at clock it was 7.00. read in bed and tried not to doze back off.
good outfit today. exam was straightforward. walked to hogans in the sun, bitched about tabloid newspapers, ate pizza and laughed at extremely thin people, walked back to school
maths revision for 2 hours. walked home with reeve, saved a dieing sparrow from the middle of the road - risking my life ofc. think it had a broken back v. sad.
reeve and i walked through the park singing motown at the top of our lungs '' aint too proud to beg, baby baby''
celloed for abit, sorted out clothin fo party tommorow. walked with R & r to sandal castle wiv minolta and robinsons juice - pure bliss.
sat and marvelled at the beauty in a corn field. emley moor, sun, pink across the city skyline, the castle ruins. prank called people. lol like we are 9. but truly hilarious - it will never get old. nearly wet our pants so decided it was best to journey home.
i feel asif this morning was last week. im not, not , not
gonna stop holding on to that feeling and start holding on to the true feeling and i know it will come one day but

layed down and thought i was gonna vom HAHAHA seen as i've had magners, vodka and coke, vodka and orange, shit loads of pasta and chocolate ice cream this evening and jumped up and down on a trampoline.
i feel so good right now somethings just clicked. when everyones been going on about how this is the best summer of your life i never completely got it - i thought it probably would be amazing but i know what they mean now. leaving school its given you this sense of feeling. you're not under any instituition, after the exams you'll have no-one calling your time. its this sense of just independence and possibility and opportunity and this sense that anything can happen and it sounds so stupid but everythings just slotted and laying out there this evening with my favourite people in the entire world didnt make me sad in any way because we've left school, i just felt totally solid and good and right and nothing can take that away.
