“I am not a princess…and I am often ugly…and I need very badly to be just me. I can’t live up to your romantic ideal of me.”
— Anne Sexton, from a letter to Alfred Sexton written c. October 1963

To love another is something
like prayer and can’t be planned, you just fall
into its arms because your belief undoes your disbelief.
Anne Sexton, from Admonitions To A Special Person
(via kehrouac)
Imagine it. A radio playing
and everyone here was crazy.
I liked it and danced in a circle.
Music pours over the sense
and in a funny way
music sees more than I.
I mean it remembers better;
remembers the first night here.
It was the strangled cold of November;
even the stars were strapped in the sky
and that moon too bright
forking through the bars to stick me
with a singing in the head.
I have forgotten all the rest.
Anne Sexton, “Music Swims Back to Me” (via m-l-rio)
