The poem chiefly explores the subject of human fallibility as the speaker indulges in an introspection of their personal shortcomings, regrets and the consequences of their actions. This theme is strengthened especially on account of the speaker recognising that they are their own obstacle. The poem delves into existential themes as the speaker acknowledges the limitations of understanding and control, offering apologies to chance, necessity, happiness, and other abstract concepts. Thus, the poem reflects a great deal of humility and the willingness to admit mistakes by the speaker.
