“Tears of A Clown”
When no one is Around
Hello everyone this Story is due to my most Sincere sadness for the tragic loss, of “Mr. Robin Williams” my heart goes out to his family and close friends. I’m going to start by saying that, I was one of many of Robin’s fans over the years.i grew up watching him on television, when he first started out doing “Standup Comedy” 😂 as time went on, Robin Williams was talented enough to become famous for his show called, “Mork and Mindy”. I tried to never miss the show. Almost everyone in my household, watched the show with me, weekly.
Over the years as you probably know by now, Robin Williams was very busy making “Movies”, and Starring in them !!
Ok, just to give you an idea of the “Amazing talent and Creativity”, this man had.!! I’m sure some of you here may not be familiar with “Robin Williams”, so I’ve added some of his “ Art, because it definitely is Art what he’s Created”. The thing about Robin’s tragic Passing, is, “Most of America”( the world) assumed that because he was so Funny, and financially well off,and had a Loving family that, Robin was “Happy/Healthy”. That brings me to this .
Society tends to Not be able to look pass one’s Outward appearance. Nor do they look pass one’s “Celebrity status, and Financial status”. That goes for Entertainers and regular people as well. For some reason, we feel as though having Money and Fame, brings one “Happiness”, and also we don’t want to believe that “Mental I’llness", can affect Famous or Well to do people in our Society.
However, it’s been proven time and time again that, one can be very successful at his or her Career/Occupation, can be Highly intelligent yet ,suffer from a Mental Disorder. Being Academically smart and being extremely talented, does not exclude one from this I’llness. actually it seems that if you look at History over the years , there have been quite a lot of, mental I’llness, among our Most talented and creative members of Society.
When I’d be enjoying Robin’s shows I always looked at“His eyes”, i always look into people’s eyes when I’m paying attention to them for whatever the reason, whenever I saw Robin Williams, he had a very Obvious ( To me) look of “Sadness, in his eyes” it’s Sad to say but, I knew he was struggling inside. If you “Read this Poster above this Paragraph”, He’s pretty much telling you About himself.!!! 😞 and how He’s feeling inside. The thing is because there’s such “Discrimination associated with “Mental disease”, no one wants to admit they have the “I’llness”
Think about it, admitting to the World that he was ill, may have cost him his career.🤔 So to protect his family, he didn’t disclose that. I understand. I wish he’d let someone know just how much pain he was in though.😢 Listen I know what tremendous pain feels like, however Robin Williams pain, was probably 10 time’s the despair I experienced?
In order for anyone to even Consider “Suicide”, they have to be in enormous pain, and literally feel total “Hopelessness” it’s very sad. I pray that one day, The medical community given all of it’s research, can find a medication that will prevent such emotions, however, Everyone doesn’t believe in taking medications, to deal with their Life.
I Know when my Son died, my then Doctor, wanted to give me a “Prescription”, in order for me to try and “Cope” however he meant well I’m sure, but I had to Decline. Because, that would only masked temporarily, my problem ,and possibly create another one down the road!! I mean I may have become “Dependant on the pills”, then I’d be an addict, with a Diceased Child. He’d still be gone
One last thing here Everyone doesn’t show “Outward distress”, like the person in this picture.thats the problem, people can function and socialize,go to and from work, and still be on the verge of “Suicide” we need to start looking closer to our loved ones. “Look into their eyes, the eyes actually are the window to one’s Soul. !! I’ve always been able to see pain, and happiness in a persons eyes.
It’s a major loss losing Robin Williams because, he was able to bring so much joy and laughter to our World, even though he himself was literally dying, day by day. I’d like to say this, he will not be forgotten, he like so many other “Talented Entertainer’s”, have left behind quite a legacy. Quite a lot of entertainment. I want to say “Thank you, Mr. Robin Williams”, for bringing laughter into my Home over the years. I only wish I could’ve met him in person.😃
I want to say Thanks to his family for Sharing him with all of us. Also remember, sometimes when a person is laughing the loudest and the most, he or she could be crying inside. look beyond the “Smile” look into their Eyes. 🙄
