The microphone is my voice
The voice of my ghost
This chair is my power on this stage
The power of my shadow
I am not in control here
When I hear laughter
When they laugh at my jokes
Then I feel insane
Like I could kill the whole audience
Tear off those curtains
And kill every last heckler
I hate being on stage
I don’t mind being famous
But I would prefer if I was infamous
You know what I mean
Maybe I should kill then now
I hate the sound of laughter
It is like a demon inside my mind
Just waiting to lose control
And kill everyone inside
Except lucky old me
Would that be fine
I think so
Yes I will kill you now
Kill you
kill that sickness inside
And make it bleed outside
kill them
Do it for me
kill that laughter
Or forever be those voices in you're head.

Thank You!
Thank You for Your entry: Killer on stage
This piece tugged hard at Spirit and after reading several times ~
I'm Honored also Humbled You took the time to pen for my contest
You took the prompt and brought forth much for the Mind to feast upon~
Bravo!! When I digest words written, images come through that grab hard~
Woven Strengths: Wow~ now this is quite the Interesting take on the prompt
for I kept getting that image from Fade to Black..the movie...
I have not seen it in years~but was seeing the movie jacket~
However that is to be Interpreted~
also after reading Your words~ I kept seeing this ventriliquist
doll from a movie...where he wears a tuxedo but I think he is
a killer doll~ for some reason I kept seeing this image
Also after reading again- kept seeing acronym~
DID...Dissociative Identity Disorder which in the psychological
community may associate that with a Personality Disorder...
When I digest the word: heckler...
boy do many images come especially when it pertains to the Health Reform~
and those who need to be informed at the Town Hall Meetings
Wowzers~ However that is to be Interpreted.
Also~
Noticed in line six: When I hear laugher...
Looks like You might be missing a t...laughter...
Wanted to run that by You for review
And line eight: The I feel insane..
did You mean ...Then I feel insane...
Wanted to run that by You for review
line 16: Maybe I should kill then now...
did You mean: Maybe I should kill them now...
line 17: laugher...laughter
And last line...grabbed....
....those voices in you're head forever...
did You mean ...your head forever...
for you're ...is you are....
so I did not think You meant ...voices in you are head forever
Wanted to run that by for Your review
I am not the Greatest speller on the planet...but like to run
things by the Poet in case I got it wrong

Love the direction You took with this prompt

Thank You for taking the time to make changes how You feel comfortable and
the *you're* ...
now...with the apostrophe...it means ...you are...
...unless I am mistaken...so that is why I asked...
if You meant a possessive type of word
or saying a statement...like you are ....this or that...
feels like You are saying...voices in your head...
(like in the person's head)...please correct me if I am wrong

if I say their heads you know what I mean. but if i say you're heads it means many things like them or even mine. it makes you think it could mean anything you want it to mean.

Okies...for some reason...when I look that word up...
I keep getting it is a *contraction* for You are...
but I am not a English major or anything...by any means..
...do You have a reference where it means otherwise
...other than a *contraction*...?
and if You feel that word works for what You are trying to
convey...I am all for it
...
I....just me speaking here like to understand to better
help with Flow of piece~ for I get Images and Energy
flunctuations in spelling etc Thank You for responding to
my question
