If Only I Knew the Words

i watched the movie sylvia today -- it was about the poet sylvia plath. i was familiar with some of her poetry, but knew little of her life. sad. disturbing really. i really don't care to say more than that. below is part of one of her poems...

Not easy to state the change you made.
If I'm alive now, then I was dead,
Though, like a stone, unbothered by it,
Staying put according to habit.
You didn't just toe me an inch, no--
Nor leave me to set my small bald eye
Skyward again, without hope, of course,
Of apprehending blueness, or stars.
