Joker

What did Heath Ledger say?...      
       
Insanity is just like gravity      
....all you need is a little ...push      
       
Yeahhh..      
       
.......even without speaking it aloud      
I think every one of us has a        
latent Joker languishing inside of us ...lingering at the precipice...      
.................fingering dark thoughts      
       
Edging emotions...hedging bets for a better tomorrow      
     
Damn!!...      
       
There's so much silent sorrow ...deafening....soul deadening      
Humans hiding in plain sight....anonymous      
...hoping to get by...unnoticed..      
       
{ did they see my crazy? }      
       
Maybe I need another drink...smoke      
...or some meaningless sex      
       
Shit...      
       
Escapism doesn't work the way it used to...      
........mind jagged....heart ragged...flaying in dystopian winds      
       
Running on fumes...      
...somebody please come exhume this cadaver of a body      
In real time...and release my Joker..
