i think that the reason that i like the joker so much is because i relate to him.
i put the laughter in slaughter.
i always keep a smile on this face to hide the tortured soul. even when i don't want to.
i am insane.
but the reason that he hasn't taken over me is because i have batman inside of me too.
i keep my true identity hidden.
i have to be strong for everyone else's sake.
i am whatever you need me to be. whether you need me to be a villain or a friend. a hero or a shoulder to cry on. i will always be whatever i need to be in order to survive. in order to help you survive.
i am gotham city.
who will win in the long run?

i am a lover and a fighter.
these emotions cannot coexist.
i will self destruct before i get the chance to live.

i want my foot on the gas and a thousand miles between me and here.
i want to run and never have to look back.
i want to escape from everything.
i want a moment alone to figure myself out.
i will be famous. i know it.
whether it is for being a mass muderer or for my voice, people will know my name.
i am determined.

i love how you say "it's only money" but you're also the cheapest person i know.
but that's okay, you're not as big of a contradiction as i am.
i am waiting for someone to notice me. to notice how far from okay i really am.
even when i break down, no one seems to see or care.
best friends? fuck you. you barely know me.
