He

He's an actor, one of the finest,
A Hollywood star that remains unknown,
An A-list god, one of the kindest,
Skilled in the fascinating art of tone,
He can smile like nobody's business, emotions are his thing,
Full of what we call easiness, when it comes to boldly laughing,
Now he's never ever been cast, for a movie or a show,
But if people knew his skill, he'd be the only celebrity we know,
You may think "why that's absurd, why let his talent go to waste",
But what you don't know , is that his act to people's just a real taste,
Of his picture perfect life, that's really falling apart at his place,
Of his happy painted smiles when inside, his dark thoughts give him no space,
He's been acting his whole life, but no one's ever known,
He's always been an actor to others, but not when he's on his own.
