Its 3:00 am, curious thoughts running through my mind.
Answers to Paradoxical riddles impossible to find.
Push pause, then stop, then play, and then rewind.
Every game has royal flush, a full-house and a two of a kind.
So many things to contemplate, is it by choice or is it fate?
Doubt leads to undoubtedly new terrain, where it crosses the black and white borders of remarkably insane.
Will I live? or will I die? Will I love? or will I lie?
A grim smile marks the memories of my bitter past.
Will this day be better than the last?
Eyes trained to only see in the dark abyss.
A maniacal laughter escapes my lips.
Hahahahaha Why so serioussssss?
A tick , a tock
a small cell block.
A ding, a dong
A slow fuse bomb.
A smile, a frown a princely clown.
Is chaos so chaotic if it gets people to move?
Is it really a crime if there's nothing to prove?
An anarchy circus with nothing to lose.
A poker face, when you're not able to choose?
A face behind a clown mask, a mask behind that face,
Lets just pour some gasoline and set fire to this whole place.
A memory so dark that it could never see the light.
Would you believe as a child i was afraid of the night?
Now I rule it with a sharp wit and an even sharper knife!
A soul taken, in exchange for a tortured life.
Laughter is what keeps me alive!!!
You have to depart before you can arrive.
My mind lost in a mix between shadows and lunacy enveloping my brain.
No one gets the joke? Hahahaha Its so funny Seriously? Now that's what I call insane.
How can no one get it? Am I charged with getting them to see?
That is why I (Yes I) created Batman, The Batman wouldn't exist without me!!!
Isn't everyone only one or two traumatic life-changing events or one bad day away from madness?
To keep from being touched by the sadness?
Paint on a face that's always smiling, and then my friend your mind has won, because when you look at the clock now you can laugh because ...its only 3:01
I tend to admire dark characters because I feel like they have so much depth. This poem explores the depth of the mind of the notorious Joker. Some of these things he would say out loud, others he would never whisper even in the silence of an empty room, because some things stay locked up inside when you are a madman.
