Untitled #8


It's really a funny thing,

people assume 

those who are the sadest:

never smile

always wear black

and stay away from everyone. 

But the truth is 

those who are really sad:

seemt eh happiest

and social

and give people advice.

They do it 

so people don't feel

they way they do 

and no one sees them at night

crying and screaming

in the pillow.

These people 

Are the best actors

mankind has.
