His words are poison
For which I have committed treason
His motives are selfish
The morality in me hasn’t vanished
He is the fire I won’t avoid
Because there is no void
Between my soul and me
The joker ignites a side of me
He is someone I have to be
Because he has the faces of me
And the joker is a part of me
And the devil I embrace within me
You are a devil
You will put me in peril
Joker you are my owner
Now I shall be your jester
But, let me show you a magic
And prove that your victory has no logic
You are the joker in me
You are a part of me
If it is victory that makes you happy
Then victory it shall be
For there is a major flaw in your victory
And that is you can’t beat me
Here, you possess my emotions
So, you opt to give me directions
But there is a magic trick
That disobeys your logic
It took me a defeat
To heed your need
But, I am your sustenance
I am the only reason for your existence
For I am water and you are fire
This is the alliance that I admire
Because as you see I am entitled to choose
Whether you win or lose.
I realized blocking you isn’t what I need
So I let you win, a victory with a defeat
You are a joker with no hands, and feet
But you have only one need
There is no point in extinguishing it
And I won’t entertain it
I can choose to use you
I can choose to lose you
You are a part of my mind
To my chains you are confined
You have failed to make me insane
I still possess my mind; I am sane
Joker you’ve failed in your invasion
Because you were a part of my illusion
