It is okay if you don’t understand the emotions hidden behind a poem. A poet is used to people not understanding its emotions. That is how the poetry came into existence, in the first place.
The poem was born out of desperation. The poem was born out of anger and pain, pain which no one else paid heed to. And she might think that the poem will help, but actually the poem itself becomes lost. Lost in millions.
Deep down she wants someone to understand what her poem actually hides- a myriad of different emotions.
Every poem is a mirror to its poet, reading it thoroughly can give you the idea of every little emotion that the poet felt while writing it. Joy and sorrow are very vivid, if you read it thoroughly you will know insecurity, pity, panic, desperation, every nook and corner of the poetic subconscious.
Now, she understands that you might not want to. But then again you might not be important. But believe me she wants him to know. She is screaming for help, and she wants him to pull her out. Self reliance, is a far cry. In that moment, she just wants somebody other than herself to latch onto. The fact that she is all alone, is suffocating her- her own body is suffocating her. She has lost all her strength. She can’t fight this alone. She needs him. Her. Someone.
