For Robin Williams

You made hundreds of million people laughed
The world thought you're durable and tough
Your comedy was a source of joy and happiness
Yet no one bothered to cheer you up from loneliness

You were a brilliant star that shine so bright
The fuel you burned was your very own life
You tried to show us the funny side of the world
But the pains and sufferings you didn't told

Because this world is cruel and never truly cared
Paid you lip service only when you disappeared
Though there are a few who truly mourned
Grateful for the funny things you've shown

The sufferings you went though no one can guess
Hoping the pains you felt are now erased
Wherever you are may you have peace
Thank you for the laughter and memories
