    worthlessness. Though trash is mentioned once in the 8th stanza‚ we can see multiple times where her self worth seems fairly low. “What a trash/ To annihilate each decade‚” the speaker says. She not only sees herself as too invaluable to live but even quite invaluable that it is a waste of time to attempt to kill herself.
