Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Kept Hidden

"People don't fake depression, they"

"Fake being okay ..." quote went on,

"Remember that. Be kind." He'd say,

And then Robin Williams was gone.

When alive, most public did not

Know how depressed Robin did be.

His talent covered it a lot.

Under, most of us could not see.

But if we'd known the truth about

Robin's depression when alive,

Would such knowledge have cast doubt

On whether his career could thrive?

Your great wit and humor did cease.

Sad, Robin Williams, rest in peace.
