I think the poem is about loneliness and isolation. She laments yet again that she is alone, and she reminds the listener of her message about a need for solidarity. She ends the poem with a tone that is both self-assured and somber. She is both certain of her thoughts on loneliness and sad to feel the way she does in her life.
