I knew what you meant when you talked about swimming in the ocean and leaving your patent leather black shoes pointed towards it while you swam
It tickled you to leave them there
 
there's a poem by Sylvia Plath in the Bell Jar that speaks about suicide and leaving her shoes pointed towards the sea. 
 
you can download the book here https://www.fadedpage.com/showbook.php?pid=20160540
 
 
I can work on some additional analysis 

speaking of how badly worded was lana's post: this is a perfect example
you could have said it in a nicer way just like the comments before you did
because as you see, clearly, this is my first post, and i'm still new to how the things work here, and thank you. 

Thanks,
 
You're not the one I'm worried about. I think she said what you wrote!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone already posted it on YouTube.
 
Use 4K Videodownloader (its free)  to record the video, or just record the MP3 for you     I already got it
 

Thanks,

Ah thanks ... edited

Ok I'm not trying to be an ass but there is one line I have a problem with and it's things like this that could come back to bite her from well, critics.
 
You have to separate the wheat from the shaft      I listened a few times closely and that is what she said I think.
 
The expression is actually  "You have to separate the wheat from the chaff"
 
 
From the web.
Definition: Select the valuable things/people and take them away from the non-valuable things/people.
 
This expression first appeared in the Bible. It is a metaphor that speaks about how God will separate those who are worthy and those who are unworthy.
His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire. It comes from the age-old practice of literally separating wheat from chaff. When winnowing grain, farmers wanted to remove all chaff from wheat. In the literal meaning, chaff is the husk around a seed, which one does not eat. In order to eat the wheat, one must remove the chaff.

When I tell y'all I ran to the bathroom at work to listen to this

Thank you!

Patent Leather Do-Over
 
Sylvia
I knew what you meant when you talked about swimming in the ocean and leaving your patent leather black shoes pointed towards it while you swam
It tickled you to leave them there
It was the thought of a young child
or of a lost fairy
It reminded me of who I am
That's why I'm now at this facility by the ocean
And why I go barefoot and why I go calmly
Why I leave my shoes up by the stairway
I do it for you and I do it for me
because having learned from others and from you
I learned there was a missing piece to finding existential calmness and and domestic bliss to lead to peace
You see, you cant fall in love with a man like Ted or a musician who sings about being free
A woodworker doesn't a good man make if he wants his work to be on TV
You have to separate the wheat from the chaff
You have to be discerning
It takes diligence, consequence and other things to keep that sea from churning
and to keep yourself from longing to let those painted waves take you under
It isn't just the water black that makes the body plunder
from high sea cliffs
I know, my dear
I wish that I had been here
or there
I wish that you were here now
If you're not now
because who knows how these things work?
Sylvia, Marilyn, Violet, Diana
All of my kind women
Who came before me
Blonde
I dyed my hair black for you
I turned my back in that black pond
I swear I wont stop until I'm dead
and here I am at 34
and what for?
To bring my pair of baby pattern leather shoes to turn them the other way
towards the sea cliff stairs, not at the ocean
To bring them back up safe to the facility instead
and I think of you as I walk to the 280 wooden steps dynamited into the cliffs 100 years before
I let myself into room 2 and got undressed
I was sunburnt
Contemplative and sore
and as I fell asleep
by Gabapentin
I lay my head on the pillow
and stretched my hand out on the cool white linen
and sang you a lemon melody
I kept the shoes on the sill by the window seat
in case you got restless and wanted to leave
and I hugged you with my baby's breath
and sang your spirit to bed
the way I would have if you were my child
or if I had children
My Queen Anne's lace heart weightless on your little head


 

TECHNICALLY, I was right

It's the best thing she's released so far relating to the poetry, sounded so good and was recited very well. A whole audiobook of the poetry like this would be great :hdu: :hdu:

ok, i love it so imma just be happy we got something new

Please don't ask reasonable questions. With Lana up is down and left is right and on and on.

The 2nd book isn't gonna come out until next year and yet she already teasing it. Typical Lana.

And I love the poem but why is she sharing stuff from behind the iron gates when violet bent backwards isn't even out yet

No it wasn't cringy at all. I had the same feeling  but was pleasantly surprised.
