The symbol of "This is My Letter to the World" is the letter. The letter that Emily Dickinson wrote addresses the World that can resemble the universe. "The simple news that Nature told...her message is committed" (4-6). Dickinson tells her readers that there will always be an end to everything. People will eventually die, so she is warning the world to live their lives before it ends.

The speaker tries to reach out to the world to search for a sense of belonging. Emily was a quiet person with a private life. Many of her poems were never published, and she wrote over 1800 of them. "My letter to the world" is a metaphor for her experience because she is lonely and misunderstood. Dickinson never received letters in her lifetime, so she is referring to the way that she wants people to know what she was trying to convey.
