The Joker

You are the one left out the one who does not care, but you secretly want more so inside yourself

you start to change. You become more and more a joker everyday and you play all their games,

you are now popular and you fell you have gained. But more and more you lose yourself and

more and more you are the joker until finally one day in the mirror you se staring back at you a

man with a painted face and a funny hat with bells. You run and flee try to deny it but on your

face the truth rests. When you next see your friends you feel different and you now depend on

the joker more and more. You do what they say follow never lead. You try to regain your own

life at home or away but still the joker stays. As the days go by and the months come and go you

are now the joker full time and you cannot fight it. You got what you wanted but now you are

gone. The Joker still remains and waits to claim another life. With a grin and a reply the joker

disarms his friends and soon they are the one dancing to his beat and now he is the puppeteer in

a dark and sinister play. Gradually and slowly they become him until there is nothing left but the

grinning mindless mob.


A Fool in Knights Clothing

He dashes through the fields chopping at imaginary foes, trying to be the hero he thinks he is.

He really is an odd one he always does the wrong thing. He is a goof but he tries to act noble.

They call him the Fool in Knights Clothing and they treat him like dirt, but deep inside he has

the power and the heart. They treat him like a joke but he is the greatest in his own little world.

One day he sees an athlete severly hurt, he rushes to his aid and when the med techs get there

they tell him he may have saved the boys life. His peers show him a new respect they say hes ok,

now he is the knight instead of the fool. They treated him like a joke but really the joke was on

them he always could be like them but chose to stay apart. A wise man once said its harder to

make the right choices than make the popular choices.
