    Furthermore the use of figurative language grabbed the reader's attention while demonstrating the importance of the power of words. The poem was short with three verses yet it was one of the impactful poems of the book. The words used were dark but significant which ended up making the readers relate back to their own life and makes them dive into similar feelings they have had. Power was shown through deep, sharp and cutting verses about loneliness. This specific theme was important to the book because without it people wouldn't be able to truly relate back to the
