Arthur Fleck

a ridiculed soul deemed
worthless
trapped by society's
undefeated cruelty
one feet deeply buried
in the throat
the tittering grows louder
as his laughter echoes
uncontrollably, resentful
and frightened
desiring only but one
semblance of normality
yet humanity has
failed once again,
how could this world
be so ruthless
how could a person
be so unkind
to Youー
a man born from chaos

Author's Note

The movie Joker made me feel so much for Arthur's character. Joaquin Phoenix was phenomenal.
