Emily Dickenson's Garden of Poetry

"I hide myself within my flower".
by Emily Dickinson

I hide myself within my flower,
That wearing on your breast,
You, unsuspecting, wear me too --
And angels know the rest.
I hide myself within my flower,
That, fading from your vase,
You, unsuspecting, feel for me
Almost a loneliness.

I think the message she is trying to convoy is that she is lonely. "I hide myself within my flower", shows that she is hiding herself from society. She spend a lot of time in her garden and disconnects herself from people around her. She then talks about how she isn't alone when she says, "You, unsuspecting, wear me too." She is pointing out that there are other people that are also lonely and hide themselves within their flower. "That, fading from your vase," I think this shows how her flower is on desplay in someone's vase, but is slowly fading. So, she was once noticed by this person, but is now slowly losing contact with them. Then she goes on to say, "You, unsuspecing, feel for me." I think this means that she is surprised that person cares that they are losing contact. And in the end she is left lonely.
