Analysis of The Joke of the Joker
The Joke of the Joker
The joker is the one looking silly on the card inside the deck
He smiles when really he is hurting and no one knows it yet.
He does his best to entertain so that others can be impressed
Deep down inside is so much pain not giving him a rest
A heart is something he puts away, a guard around it to protect
No one tries to really know him or admire his intellect
Once the game is over he hides behind the ace
Quietly he can cry without anyone seeing his face.
