Poem Title:
Poem
Sound the sirens, tell them to bring oxygen in their company I'm overdosing on apathy, forcefully devouring justified anger Sound the alarm, I'm just a volcano waiting to blow I can't bury my head in sleep the world has ordered all beds made of steel my head full of lead a magnet to the floor but a consistent bell nailed to the door I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE! In the monologue I've written for myself the phrase that protrudes the most yet the ears it needs to pierce go on about their day while I bear the brunt of my words in my blistered littered feet shackles on my ankles if they didn't want me to walk, they've been better off taking a butcher knife to the shins so I'd never talk again but leave it to me to call it all my fault embrace the flaws, force a smile say I understand when I may still not excusing the fact that it's been my face on target they've been shooting darts at numbering the days 'till I leave If I go down, I'm going down in handcuffs It's been four months shy of a year sound the sirens cause I'm throwing merchandise sound the sirens cause I'm knocking over shelves sound the sirens cause I'm shouting 'till my lungs collapse from aggravation call the ambulance, call the ambulance, CALL THE AMBULANCE! I've caught the case of American Blues I've caught the case of Ambulance Anxiety because I can't excuse how this corporate society plan has me by the throat, a death grip I could transform into a masked vigilante in full bat-like attire, fight my way out but beneath the mask I'd be the same villain I'm fighting against so who am I really fighting Corporations or poverty? Don't listen to me, don't take this to heart who am I kidding just raise your fist in agreement if you're suffering from the Ambulance Anxiety of American Blues an employee who's just had enough of their job too
