The theme of the poem is having a lack of self confidence, self-esteem, self respect, etc.
He states that every time he tries to sound smart, the cowardice that is unknown to him comes out and makes him sound like a fool. He says he cannot figure out how to get rid of it. This is a reference to the theme as he has no self confidence and is easily lowered by himself.

This figurative language states that he does not believe in himself, so instead of a fireman he instead will get an arsonist. This example states that the theme is that when a person does not believe in him or herself it can cause damage to the being.

The theme of the poem is to find out one's true self and to not let their cowardliness/doubts take over.
In the poem the speaker explains how when he tries to be brave, his coward side takes over, "when I summon my courageous self a coward completely unknown to me swaddles my poor skeleton in a thousand tiny reservations." This figurative sentence explains how when he tries to be brave his coward side makes him have doubts and hides his brave side. This example really connects to the theme as he can't show his true self because he can't make his doubts stop taking over himself, so because of this he can never truly show his real self, unless he doesn't allow the coward side take over.

The poem suggests that a low self-esteem can make one question ones self and what they want to be in life. Pablo Neruda shows this in the poem with figurative language by saying, "I die with envy of them." This uses a hyperbole to show that he wishes to have more confidence, suggesting he has a low self-esteem. "When a stately home bursts into flames, / instead of the fireman I summon, / an arsonist bursts on the scene, / and he is I." This using a metaphor in comparing himself to an arsonist and a fireman, saying he wishes to be the fireman, but is instead the arsonist that makes a bad situation (home bursting into flames) worse. He says how he wants to be one person, but instead is someone completely opposite and his low self-esteem is affecting that and the way he looks at it.

Neruda uses hyperbole when he says " I die with envy of them". This implies that he feels his envy is getting bigger that it can kill him.
This hyperbole supports the theme because he doesn't believe in himself because he has a lot of envy in others. This envy makes him feel angry, frustrated, and it makes it hard for him to get back up.

personalities
being confused about who they are
identity
scared to be themselves
having doubts about himself
no confidence
he wants to have a constant feeling of safety and being himself without all his other personalities

* The poem suggests that being human is being confused about who they are or "should be". In other words people will be confused about themselves and that causes self doubt and a lowering of self-esteem. Also that other people make someone feel as if they need to be someone else which confuses them. "when i summon my courageous self a coward completely unknown to me swaddles my poor skeleton in a thousand reservations" this shows how he wants to be something and the opposite appears, this means that he doesn't truly know himself. which helps compliments the theme.

No self confidence and trying to be the real you.
The poem suggest that not everyone has trouble trying to be the real them. Its like they don't have any self confidence, sometimes they might be scared to show the real them. Multiple personalities, everyone has them. The figurative language that is used is "I am left in envy of the cowboys, left admiring even the horses" this figurative language is jealously, he wants to be like them. The connection that is linked through no self confidence and the figurative language is that he doesn't believe in himself and that he wants to be someone else like the cowboys or even the horses.

The theme shows how self doubt can hold us back and cause problems in even the simplest of actions. The quote "I die in envy" is using hyperbole to bring the pain to life. This demonstrates to us how his self doubt (envy) is making him feel as if he's dying. It is causing him pain to watch others be more confident. It shows how jealous he is of others simple excellence when he can't even be confident.
