Joker

What if I am a lie? What I do, what I say, every action I take is a lie. Can you all see me? Past the mask I put on myself? Can you tell me ... who I am?

I am a Joker

I am the doom card

I know this and that is why that blasted smile is always there

I haunt, I taunt, and I will never leave you alone

I am here

and suddenly I'm here

I never stay long

for you to see through my tricks

but long enough for me to pull you into my web of lies

You will say that I am a happy person

one who tells stories for all to hear

one that will surely be entertaining

and one that carries no burdens

But

can you 

see

the mask

In my world 

when the winds swing

when all light is lost

and only the moon is my witness

The hunter comes out to play

He is heartless

He will not listen

and he is the King of the night

He does not feel

not when what he wants is already his meal

The king does not look down

but, he was the one who taught me 

How to ignore my feelings

how to put on this mask that you all see

To replace my feelings with ones that are fake

and to become King of the day

I am a Joker

I am not what you think I am

I may smile and joke 

but you don't know that they are fake

I may tell stories and entertain

but you will never know that they are lies

I dance around everyone 

but I strike at night

I toss away the mask that you all seem to know

and replace it with a mask of a killer

I'm just a Joker

but I am also a Hunter

I set the stage and then I tear it down myself

I long for someone to join me on the stage

to keep it from breaking down

But can you tell me?

Am I a Joker or a Hunter?
