My smile masks a thousand lies
one thousand lies hidden behind my bellowing laugh
A laugh that fades when your eyes cast away
Your eyes fail to notice my darkness leaking out
My darkness is translucent but swallows me whole like tar
I’m drowning but I continue to live
Living while suffering while pretending is a battle
A battle I can’t confess because I fear to disappoint you
You’re disappointed I didn’t speak up
I can’t speak up or out or talk about my demons
My demons are choking me while my brain betrays me
You feel betrayed while staring at my corpse
I stare back blankly with a smile on my face.

How do you describe
I'm not sure that you can
Truly find the words for
A Renaissance Man
I woke up this morning
Saw the paper, he was dead
Renaissance Man
Popped into my head
Rebel against the standard
Rage not causing pain
Live a life worth living
Like Anthony Bourdain
Teacher, writer, critic
Chef, student and man
Philosopher and cleric
A grown up Peter Pan
Question those around you
Learn, and share the wealth
Be a Renaissance Man to others
Don't keep your knowledge on the shelf
Demons, we all have them
Don't feed them, for they breed
Doubt into existence
Dark demons need to feed
Live life, avoid the shadows
Share and then go share again
Don't end up on a headline
Fight the urge, count to ten
Today, I read a headline
A Renaissance Man out of pain
I guess we never really knew him
Rest gentle Sir Boudain

When looking for people,
you'll always find food.
So look for food,
and you'll find friends.
Cause that's how it always ends :
with good food on their hands,
a table surrounded by friends.
