Im
not the hero
not the villain
not the love interest
not the clown

Im the supporting actor

The one that can disappear for a while
then reappear

The one that is there so often
Its just granted if its there

The one that
if it leaves,
The story just goes on.

The hero defeats the villain
Marries the love interest
Has the clown there for laughs
and
maybe occasionally think
back
on
the
supporting actor.

Sometimes they die
Sometimes they turn dark
Sometimes they have a movie
about them that just doesn't quite take off.

but supporting actors
are cool.

They were always my *favourite
