Robin Williams
I know most of your jokes by heart.
I’ve even said them in your voice.
I’ve seen you in movies, in stand up - you’re art!
But why did you make that choice?
It is selfish of me to ask that you stay.
When you just wanted to go.
I had hoped to see you perform someday
Because you put on quite a show.
How can a man spread such joy,
Yet have such darkness in his brain?
You said it’s been there since you were a boy.
Was ending it, less pain?
Thank you for the laughs and making me smile,
When I’m sad I think - let’s just go another mile!
Painful Truth
I've never personally felt the death of a celebrity.
Maybe it is because I'm too young...
But it doesn't take a genius to figure out why their deaths kill us.
To us, a celebrity is like a shining star.
So bright and amazing.
But we forget that stars too die...
The reason celebrity deaths hurts us is because it shows us the truth.
No matter how special you are...
How rich you are...
How famous...
Death doesn't care.
One day your time will end just like theirs.
