I had to choose a Sylvia Plath poem to analyse and I chose this one because
I could easily understand it. It is clear that she is not happy and wants
her life shortened.

A reader from the U.K has already noted that this poem is by Christina
Rossetti, not Sylvia Plath. In fact, this is the first stanza of Rossetti's
three-stanza poem. The fact that another author's work is ascribed to Plath
makes me suspect of other poems in your site.
You should have removed Rossetti's poem from this site when you first
became aware of your mistake! May I also add that this poem, as you present
it, is not exactly as written by Rossetti.

This poem is so cool because it talks about how she is weak but looks to
jesus to help her.

This isn't Sylvia's work. I was quite taken aback when I read it because
it's not her style at all. I had to check the facts, and sure enough, it
isn't hers. I do like it though. Sylvia doesn't usually rhyme like that,
and she's a little more into imagery expressing her despair rather than
being so forthcoming about it. Well, she is, but not in this direct manner.

This poem was written by Christina Rossetti - not Sylvia Plath

I also think that this poem foreshadows Plath's death, as the line "Jesus,
quicken me" implies to me that she wants the Lord to hurry along her death,
that she has no will to survive anymore. I see a sign of desperation in
Plath's narrative voice.

In this poem I, as the reader feel that Plath foreshadows her suicide. Some
lines of her work reveal that she just wants her life to end.
