I didn't read the poem so this is based on my thoughts!
Being alone means that even if you have people surrounding you, you still as if you have no one to help pull you out of your dark world. Being alone doesn't really mean not having people you know in person, more so not having anyone that you can count on. That will be a shoulder for you to cry on.
Man versus self. Hope this works!

A "slave narrative" is a written or spoken account of a slave's own/personal experience. It was common during the time when racial segregation surged, particularly among the African-Americans. It is stated in a "chronological order" according to how they happened and how the slave experienced it.
The purpose of slave narratives is<u><em> not always the same.</em></u> Some would just show the horrors of slavery for the awareness of people while others would persuade its abolition. Moreover, other accounts of slavery are meant to provide religious inspiration.
The literary device is ambiguity
