The Joker
I feel like the joker
In the pack of cards
I'm not a member of
any group
I can be used as
anything
From royalty to a lowlife
Often I'm left out of
the game completely
I'm the minority
The disowned member
In a game of Families
Adapting to the cards around
me trying to fit in
And find friends in this
Sea of indifferent dislike
In the pack of cards
I'm not a member of
any group
I can be used as
anything
From royalty to a lowlife
Often I'm left out of
the game completely
I'm the minority
The disowned member
In a game of Families
Adapting to the cards around
me trying to fit in
And find friends in this
Sea of indifferent dislike

Great Poem! Using such a common place vehicle (card deck)to express self awareness and positional pain.

Definitely a nice piece, I especially like the way that 'Families' could refer to eaither the card houses or actual families.
