In this poem we have someone introducing himself. We can learn many things about the speaker by analysing the poem. For example:
-Our speaker is a very lonely man. In the first two lines the speaker tells us that nobody cares about him, or even knows who is anymore, and that his friends have abandoned him.
- Misery gives our speaker a death wish. But he doesn't say anything about killing himself.
