I can be needy... I don’t like to share I’m greedy.

I just want to be needed,

So then my heart can stop bleeding.

Because of you my scars are healing,

All my life it’s steady stealing...

Am I strong enough to beat it?

I’m so numb, but baby you you give me feeling,

Used to bein higher than the ceiling.

I can’t help it that I’m broken,

And my problems are unspoken.

Right now I really want to dip,

Off the agulha got a grip.

Lately wanna take a sip,

Every single day I trip.

How will they catch me if I slip,

When they don’t know the half of it…

I’m on the edge, but do I wanna jump?

When have I ever been enough...

I’m really done but for you I wanna try,

I’m over it that’s no surprise.

Used to smile to disguise,

But it led to my demise.

Hide it away in lock and key,

You’ll never know what’s up with me...

What are the effects of parallel structure in this excerpt? check all that apply. it adds emphasis to the verbs that describe the british government’s oppression. it uses repetition to add power to the colonists’ growing list of grievances. it stresses jefferson’s list of grievances, giving the reader a sense of the amount of time the colonists have been oppressed. it emphasizes that all of these acts were carried out by the same person.
