This tragic poem uses more Nazi references along with very morbid images to provide a confessional poem to her readers. This confessional poem continues with the Nazi references that she often used against her father. This decision shows the deep impact that his death still had on her. The key images are her descriptions of her desire for death. She proudly states that “this is number three” and she goes on to describe the act of suicide as a type of show that will be gladly watched by all. The speaker proclaims, “For the eyeing my scars, there is a charge.” These strong descriptions of the pride that she had for her suicide attempts clearly show her desire to continue her act, and this morbid poem clearly shows the deep depression into which she had fallen.
