If you're here He's not I'm not And Im sure you'd like to know why we're not Ill tell you.... He loved her And she's not here right now because of you ....Fame is a disease We all got it We're all sharing needles with it If you're not careful

You will die before you die

I mean, look at us
NO!
NO!
Silly!
Put the suicide note down
AND LOOK AT US

Look at all the bottles on the floor
Half of these things I cant even pronounce
But
Did you notice Xanax reads the same forward and backward?
No
I thought it was funny
Anyway
Apparently my apartment on Broome st
Did not sweep enough under the rug
So now you see what you've done
Now you know how I got these scars
See the camera keeps rolling
Like a wheel
Turning your insides
You cant have a normal life
Without a production team
With a search warrant for your bad day
How many tabloids do you think it took to ruin him
How many gossip sites did it take?
How many lines of cocaine do you think we need to forget
That everyday we're getting farther and farther away from EVERYTHING
We love
Oh you thought he was acting?
Oh You think I'm not real
Oh Im real
REEL TO REEL
And when you 're sick with fame like him
You need people like me to keep you laughing
So when the lady left with everything
I said Why So Serious
Just take two Ambien
Those are good for the nightmares
Take one of these
Two of those
A whole #%^#$%& of these


I kept the bathroom cabinets jokes coming

Because Painkillers can shove your mistakes off a balcony
And you can still smile about it
You think you know him
You don't
I was there
I was there to tell him that if were gonna go anywhere
We were gonna go out with a bang
So WHY SO SERIOUS!

@Talli732 How in the world does it do that? This is a concept piece, it is assumed there is some artist exaggeration, the idea that Ledger and The Joker became one in the same, it's merely a suggestion, not an assumption. How do you know he didn't develop early signs of schizophrenia before he passed? You don't. And Ledger WAS using pills, whether or not it was related to the movie role, he had had conversations with MaryKate Olsen about his stresses with the movie. This poem is genius.

It is well known that Heath Ledger was a method actor. This means he literally assumed the role of the joker both on and off the screen. If that doesn't fuck somebody up, nothing will.

We all assume roles. We are all method actors. Sometimes our methods push us over the edge....

Basically, this poem is incredible.

@angrymob96 read the comments under the video. I would've loved to see this in person, the makeup job looks awesome.
