en: Lady Lazarus is originally a poem by Sylvia Path, written in 1963 shortly before her suicide, and published post-humously in 1965. Sylvia describes her experience after repeated suicide attempts in the course of her life- struggling with her mental health as she lives through the torture of being under the public eye- a famous celebrity, admired and constantly observed, but never truly seen, and isolated in her pain. She vacillates from victim to aggressor, helpless, yet placing her sensuality confidently into the center of attention.
