I feel this way because Sylvia Plath talks about death and sadness and sorrow alot in the poem, and it seems sort of strange that she talks alot about death.

I connect with her in her poem when she talks about how time flies super fast, I simply feel like time flew by very fast in my life and it seems like yesterday I was just starting elementary school and now I am graduating next school year and it's so hard to believe.
