Robin Williams Syndrome
A happy mask often brandished by those most sad Attempting to prevent anyone else feeling as bad As they have And often try to help And make it better Their kind eyes and smile hides them feeling under the weather Just because it's worn well doesn't mean that it's not heavy most are scared to die they crave escape and have been ready to eject from their meat suit Been mistreated, misused, And would rather dangle from a noose than to bring the burden of conflict to you They know enough to know that within ignorance is bliss so most get kept in the dark and blind they've even been feeling like shit If those you care about are still alive Then you should tell them. Like that SkyZoo song says, "Give em their flowers while they can smell em"
