The poem reflects on the speaker's feelings of inadequacy compared to their family members and peers. The speaker's grandfather fought in World War II, while their father was a firefighter, and the speaker feels they have not accomplished much in comparison. The speaker is playing their violin for a therapist but does not think they are very entertained. The speaker hopes to find an audience for their "world's smallest violin" and feels performing may help improve their mental state.
