State of Emergency

[This poem--or anthem, if you will-- is inspired by Paramore's song(s).]

I'm in a state of (EMERGE)ency
I needed some time alone
Only time will tell
Until the metamorphosis takes place
No one knows

But I can feel the pressure now
I'm trapped in this heart of glass
I'm suffocating
Give in to this lullaby
Let it take you over

I scream and shout
No one can hear me
k(NO)w one will save me
Can anyone hear me?
Testing, testing, one two three...

It's all so cliché
But the monotonous lull
Is comforting
My heart beats to the rhythm
Of your shouts of despair

I can hear you
But come closer
And maybe you'll hear me.
