Look away

by ssu7

It's the enervated hold Which is the first to fold A hand of jokers And deuces Sold to you as gold One tries to will it true This hand of gold anew The power of will Tides one through Yet doubts unspoken grew And grows the unsure strong Leaps and bounds along But one keeps it down Looks away Being strong is not to long One does oft wonder though How one got to be so When the truth escapes Through tiny holes While Joker lies aglow So one hopes that one can hold This designated mould Truth be dammed Just look away One's right is not to fold
