Answer:

The main theme of the poem is the conflicts that a teenager goes through.

Explanation:

This poem is related by a teenager who finds herself with fears and problems. She is afraid of loneliness, death and criticizes sexism.

All this she must face alone, since her mother is only locked in her room.

Let's look at the aforementioned problems:

  • Fear of loneliness: This is expressed every time she says: <em>"and momma's in the bedroom with the door closed ",</em> she is afraid to face this whole stage alone and her mother does not accompany her. Also in another line she expresses this fear with the following words: <em>"Nobody even stops to think about my side of it " </em>
  • Fear of death: He refers to this repeatedly: <em>"what if I die  before morning "," suppose I die before graduation "," will I live long enough to grow up ". </em>
  • She criticizes sexism: <em>"I should have been on Math Team my marks were better than his". </em>Someone has rejected her just because she is a woman.
