Could you be your own,
Joker?
Could you play a cruel hand?
Would there be moments,
That insanity could take over?
Could that insanity win,
over your mind?
Do things that you never once thought you do?
Say words that broke others,
Minds make them feel the games you play.
Would your own game,
You play win over your,
Mind make you feel,
The insanity you speak.
There is your joker.
Could you be-able,
To over throw him?
Or would he over throw your mind?
Would his insanity be to much for you to handle?
When really all it is.
Is your own sanity,
Being thrown back at you?
Its how he plays,
His games.
Remember he only wins,
If you let him.
Remember he's only a joker,
Wishing to prey on your mind.
On your innocent soul.
Only a joker he'll be,
If you don't fight.
He'll only prey more.
Then he'll become the demon,
From within.
Let him be his joker,
Self.
Don't let him into,
Your sanity world.
Because he'll only turn it into your insanity.
Forget the joker.
Because he'll not win.
Speak out,
And he'll not win that way.
He's nothing more than,
A joke.
Not knowing,
When to stop.

This poem doesn't address the purposes of this contest. It is a philosophical rumination about the structure of personality. Not a bad poem just not for this contest. Thanks for your entry.

Very interesting poem. Great job, and nicely done. I love how you expressed yourself.

I liked it. I have a friend who's obsessed with Joker, so she'd resent this, but I thought it was really good. I liked, 'Speak out, And he'll not win that way.' that best. it's like a warning against everything. 'The silence of many cannot defeat the sound of an individual.' Super job!
