About me:
I am a microphone. Use me, baby. Use me.Like Paris's Hilton, I am open.... but only on Tuesdays. Come and smoke me like a joint, puff me like a pastry, or wail on me like Mike Tyson.
I wanna hear YOU. Yes, YOU.
I am five years old, but in microphone years that's like...old age. There isn't anything I haven't been asked to convey, express, or amplify. We finish a little on the early side (between 10 & 11), so we are perfect for you early-bird-working-parent-student-just-have-shit-to-do-crowd.
POETRY STARTS AT 8:30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS - Try not to spit on me too much, I am a community instrument... ..
Who I'd like to meet:
All poets, performers, puppies, artists, activists, heart breakers, wallflowers, dramatists, comedians, cows, kangaroos, apologetic vermin.....etc. ..

Kayos Great
Im at the point of no return the wind has covered my tracks like a murder'er whos killed how could I ever go back so many people have betrayed me feel the scars on my back it aint never slow me down infact it made me react To the point i'm over flowed holden anger inside working twelve to nine no money I can bearly survive no tags, no licence gon continue to drive smokeing a blunt gun in my car going a hundred and five Give it my all is a must but I aint holden my breath so closed to being pushed off over the edge I'm at the ledge praying god am I ready for death I feel the gray hairs growing agen dying of stress what next Burn in hell like i'm burning on earth rise from the dead second chance like i'm being rebirth from a hole that I dug that was covered by dirt I cant breath.. cant bear this pain and it hurts Run away is a choice I cant run from myself mad doggen my reflection with a gun in my mouth Thinken pull the trigger then my son crosses my mind how does daddy explain he's be a horrible guy why lie I'm so depressed dealing with the battle of life over draft in my account so they might turn off my lights Got no gas and no food looking my son in the eyes he's praying asking... gods ignoring him.. why over and over.. again and again.. I try and I try same results going insane... i'm loosing my mind And I cant think my heads always clutter in thought And cant except the fact that I lost when I fought I got so many problems so many that a chick aint one
