Do you really think my work is too hard to comprehend? Oi... I didn't know...
And actually the poem is about a woman (a mother) meeting with a shrink to talk about her daughter. She thinks her daughter is straying away from what she is supposed to be doing (which I guess could be becoming a "productive member of society").
She thinks her daughter is unmanageable (which is why she is seeking psychiatric help), but if you pay close attention to the poem the girl is hardly a 'problem.' She's a pretty normal adolescent. She's a little introverted, a writer, messy and lazy. She a little ignorant of the world surrounding her and is trapped in her own. The mother is exaggerating, and that's part of my criticism towards modern-day parenting. Discipline isn't what it used to be, everyone is seeking psychiatric help and looking deeper into things, and it's ruining children. "Outdated" discipline was a little harsh, but more effective. We all have issues to deal with, but delving into them too
