You were not a role model. You were hilarious but ****** You were happy but dark. You suffered. You fought. You played the waves of a deep depression. Eventually, you lost. You put on a show. The show. You made yourself into anything to get a laugh. You created an icon. Of comedy. Of love. Of strength. Of comedy. You were not a role model. But you are a pillar of selflessness. Your shadow shines bright. A figure of darkness Echoing what it means to live Until time is up. I don’t know you behind your mask. I don’t know what resides in you Birdcage heart. But, What Dreams May Come is up to you now, old friend.

In Memorial of the Great R. Williams
You were not a role model. You were hilarious but ****** You were happy but dark. You suffered. You fought. You played the waves of a deep depression. Eventually, you lost. You put on a show. The show. You made yourself into anything to get a laugh. You created an icon. Of comedy. Of love. Of strength. Of comedy. You were not a role model. But you are a pillar of selflessness. Your shadow shines bright. A figure of darkness Echoing what it means to live Until time is up. I don’t know you behind your mask. I don’t know what resides in you Birdcage heart. But, What Dreams May Come is up to you now, old friend.
Rest easy now, Mr. Williams. Your fight is over.
