Rouse

Lines 1-2: generally a request, a plea or a confession rooted in his disregard for his own feelings /his lack of self-respect; Lines 3-6: repeat of the request, plea or confession from Line 1, this time with altered details, causing often a drastic extension of the thought; Lines 7-11: attempted 'volta', changes feel, often posing a question in order to gain sympathy of the reader; Last Line: dramatically minimalistic statement, attempts to shock the reader/invoke feelings of desperation on his part, often utilizes vulgarity; (f uck this; he's done with patterns.)
