Need is not quite belief. - Anne Sexton

The beautiful feeling after writing a poem is on the whole better even than after sex, and that's saying a lot.

Each night I am nailed into place
and forget who I am.
Daddy?
That's another kind of prison.
It's not the prince at all,
but my father
drunkeningly bends over my bed,
circling the abyss like a shark,
my father thick upon me
like some sleeping jellyfish.
What voyage is this, little girl?
This coming out of prison?
God help -
this life after death?

Suicide is, after all, the opposite of the poem.
