Jokers Court

Why am I here again...
The deafening sound, the quiet embrace.
It all seems too familiar
Too eager to welcome me back

I can't be here again...
The tumbling walls know my failing grasp
The joker laughs at my fallen stature
The bonds weaken, the chains tighten
The questions begin, the answers run

But I am here...again.
Pain new, pain old,
Lines blurred, feeling slurred
The joker dances in the shadow of the flame
The shackles begin to melt away

The ashes beneath my feet
The molten scars across my ankles
I scramble to reach higher ground
Clutching my bleeding heart, I emerge.
Slowly I stand and greet the smoky sunrise..
I say, "Here I am. Again."
