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.
