This poem was written from the viewpoint of a little girl. She starts worrying when she considers how she seems, what people may think of her, and how she feels about her mother. She also considers her impending early death, peer pressure, the immature manner of the guy of her dreams, and her current residence. The poem also addresses teen-related topics including wearing braces to conform to social norms of attractiveness and receiving higher grades. The girl laments that nobody, not even her mother, is there to guide her along the proper road.
