I Hear the Voices In Your Head
You’re driven to do bad, bad
real bad things
Chucky did it, you’d often say
You’re given to say bad, bad
real bad things
You said it’s Rhoda who talks this way
You’ve been fibbing bad, bad
real bad, boy
Ever since you said Jason bragged he killed your pa
You’ve been tripping bad, bad
real bad, boy
Ever since you said Lizzie confessed she axed your ma
You got so many voices talking to you
Sometimes they’re talking at the same time
Each voice clamoring, trying to get through
But Dr. Lecter’s voice keeps them all in line
I hear the voices in your head
Because they’ve been talking to me too
I’m not listening to what Dr. Frankenstein just said
Because the voice in the mirror said I’m just like you
This is the poem that was the cause of me coming to Poetry Soup.
On another poetry website, when I posted this poem, they censured it,
and removed it. I was very upset about that. Someone no doubt was
offended and complained about the poem's subject matter content.
I kept my poems posted at the other website for the sake of the
other poets. Most of those poems have not been posted here at PSoup.
If you want to know where those poems are at, you can contact me
by soup mail. I would like to know what you think about this poem.
Love always, Romantic Warrior.
