She killed herself possibly not only because she was chronically depressed, but also because of the aforementioned daddy issues and the fact that her husband cheated on her multiple times and was a more succesful poet, while she had to take care of two kids.

>> No.3831912

she has an amazing vocabulary and can make strong use out of a single word in a poem which makes it more captivating.
extreme honesty and the value of feeling over specific storyline.
