Hey Commander,
By Jessie G., from Teen Ink
Can you unplug me?
I need to leave this place, be freed.
I’m run with wires
and stationed here
Watching as the world devolves
Please! I just need some privacy
I cannot watch this tragedy
The power’s out, I feel so helpless
Can’t you see?
I’m a hopeless nothing
in the midst of chaos
The world is falling and I’m
stuck here
to watch the downfall
of society
Hey Commander,
Can you unplug me?
I need to find some kind of safehouse
To hide away on this doomsday
from this apocalyptic anarchy.
