Poem
You left me so sad today I needed you to make me smile I wanted to see you laugh And forget my burdens awhile Robin, you left me sad today My heart is pained even more That you're the one who took your life Was there nothing worth fighting for? Robin, what do you leave for us? Who have struggled down this path? What do you leave for us to think If you couldn’t make it last? You had it all, you had the fame You had the glory too But Robin, where was the love? Where was the love for YOU? Those who laugh the hardest And make the tears come down Are those with pain too great to bear So they play the part of clown I’ve also played that part, my dear I laugh to hide the tears I giggle and I joke around But I’m consumed by fears Oh Robin, I will miss you so We’ve never even met But I feel I know you well No one sweeter than you yet So like a robin, you flew away Took your life to be free Oh Robin, I’m left here to think What will become of me? Eileen Manassian To Robin Williams, one of my absolute favorite actors. I adored that man. Media vita in morte sumus – in the midst of life we are in death (Wolfgang Grassl). Depression claims another soul. Only those who deal with it know the dark places that it can lead...yes, even to the valley of the shadow of death.
