Maya Angelou uses a contradiction to make her point and reveal things about the character. By the end of the poem, the reader will notice that the more the character endures hardship the more she loves to live most people would think of life and death as two opposite things. However, when the character says "they dull my eyes, yet I keep on dying, because I love to live" she is explaining that in her reality life and death exist together. Angelou, in her powerful poetry and use of metaphors ties together two things that are obvious contradictions to make a comparison. She likens the pain, suffering, aging, and losses in life to actual death. Pain and death don't become a reason to avoid living, but are a necessary part of the reality of life. The character does not avoid learning the lesson of pain and death. The love of living is the reason that she endures challenge.
