The subject of this poem is death by suicide and depression, the tone is very dark and gloomy. Personally, I don't have any experiences with suicide. However, I have experienced mild depression. That was my muse for this poem, not close the level of the speaker but the common depression that everyone experiences. The name of the poem is “Antarctica” because that is what I can related depression too, I remember feeling very cold when I had depression as well as lonely. It's a metaphor for the depression because the thick ice sheet in Antarctica is the depression that does not allow the land or the person to flourish.
