It Was A Dream

I felt that this poem was pretty straight forward. The other part of herself or what she refers as her "greater self" is telling her at the end of the poem, what she could have done is make her voice heard, her presence known. The author describes her "greater self" with "wild hair" and "wild eyes". I think this is to further accentuate her point to be more confident, raise her voice, and voice her opinion.
Another point of view I took on this poem was perhaps the author experience a great loss, and feels guilty. Her "greater self" is the part of her that believes she should have done something to prevent whatever happened. If the woman with "wild hair" is her "greater self", then she is screaming at herself, and she is screaming that she should have done something.
As for the structure of the poem, I thought it was a little odd that she begins the poem as if the title of the poem was the first line. When you begin reading the poem as if the title is the first line it makes much more sense as well.
