The comic's riddle - A four line poem

One from a series of four line poems I've written. This was based off of a piece I'm still working on "The comic's riddle".

Their smiles will rock your heart
But the happy ones are sad
The knives will touch their wrists
As the light departs their eyes

comedians are often sad behind the curtain...and humor is their way of coping...
the smiles hide the frowns.
very real...

Very real, yes. Sadly they get the least help dying slowly as they help others live
Thanks for your review j.
