One of the themes in Hanging Fire is the need of help from parents, hence the fact that the narrator says "and momma's in the bedroom
with the door closed," which could show that the daughter secretly needs her help, but doesn't reach out. Another theme in the poem could be lack of self-confidence, like, in line 28, she states, "why do I have to be the one wearing braces" which shows that she would rather not have them, and she doesn't find them to suit her which triggers that emotion she has, as well as the line that states, "how come my knees are always so ashy."
