The primary themes of the poem are adolescence, death, and coming of age. It draws attention to the worries of a young woman who has begun a new chapter in her life at the age of 14. She feels abandoned since, unfortunately, no one is there to comfort or guide her during this difficult time in her life. Even the guy of her dreams is unable to comfort her, and her mother expresses little care. The author of this short poem wants to make the point that parents should be there for their kids when they leave behind a secure childhood and enter the most trying time of their life.
