Laugh In The Face Of Demons
By Accidental Poet
The Grand Marshal of comedy
You made students of your peers
Blazing a new trail of laughter
A career spanning nearly 40 years
All while inside
You waged a relentless war
Battling stealthy demons
Defiance in the smile you wore
Millions upon millions
To whom you gave of yourself
A loyal following
Of your comic wealth
Generations all touched by you
So effortlessly you entertained
Sad that your comedy
Ineffective against your own inner pain
May you live forever Robin Williams
In the sound of laughter everywhere
And on the faces
The smiles that we all wear
