I am not a joke, but may be a fool.
to be sitting here like this.
I say things that i shouldn't.
and still i am here.
A joke i am not.
But a fool some say i am.
For not being happy with what i have.
With the fountain of information i have
I should be living more comfortably.
For i am a fool, i will admit.
For not stepping to the plate and taking what is mine.
But a joke i am not.
For i am content with what i have so far.
And life has given me a loving family.

Well said! As long as we know and appreciate our family and those who love us, we aren't a joke at all. Thanks for entering and good luck!
