We're All Mad Here

Another lovely Wednesday Write Night in my hall tonight!  Again it was great and it even included cider and donuts for all!  It totally made my night.  There was even more people there tonight too!  That means more poems to hear from more awesome writers!  And of course, everyone's writing was just actually amazing and inspiring.  It's so cool to see how different everyone's poems are when we all have the exact same theme and topic to write about.  

Tonight's theme was Weird Writing.   We chose the topic of Voices in Your Head.  Each of us said a word that was supposed to be included in the poems as well.  The words were: caramel, edict, twitch, auto tune, frazzle, loquacious, Viagra, and pillow.  Plus bonus snap points for including: chicken nugger, sweer potato, and/or french fried.  So here is my Weird Poem.  I hope you enjoy it!

A Weird Poem With Some Weird Voices

By: Christina AKA Me AKA Hannah

I’ve developed a twitch

I’m not sure what to do about it

I’m not really sure how I got it either

It probably has something to do with those voices in my head

Like auto-tuned robots singing in my ear

Go away you daft punk losers

But hey, they aren’t really hurting me right?

They just tell me to do stuff, but it isn’t usually bad

It’s just words.

I can lie on my chicken nugger pillow and think about all of the sweet caramels and cider of the world but the voices are still there whispering loquaciously as I try to sleep.

They aren’t dangerous, but their voices are sickening nonetheless

I’m frazzled and frizzled and freaked out and fucked

I feel like I’ve just found out what Viagra really is, two minutes after I’ve swallowed four too many.

I guess I should call a doctor.  But doctor… who?

Anyone I ask will pronounce I’m crazy with some kind of edict with lots of big words that I don’t understand.

But maybe I am crazy

Or maybe it’s not me. 

Heck it’s probably you. 

And here’s just for you.

Just for you and your crazy and me and my not.

Nobody dies

And the little girl never gets any older.

And oops that’s a spoiler

No it’s a plot twist.

No it’s not. 

I don’t know.

Those are just the voices talking to no end. 

There is no end

But then again,

There is no beginning

Unless you’re in the hospital

Oh well.

I’m not

And I’m not crazy

Those voices are just friends, and enemies, and frenemies staying by my side as I walk down the street in the dark by a parking structure

There are so many cars

Maybe I’ll steal one

Maybe the voices will too.

Yeah I think we will

Yippee, a new car for me

It’s shiny and new and now it’s mine

And now I’m done

Finished if you will

Yup
