I couldn´t sleep

I couldn't sleep.
I just couldn't.
You can be the best actor in the world
but you can't act your own life.
Like the Joker, who laughs when forced.
There are always new stars. New Jokers.
I sleep.
Forever.

Poett´s note. Actor Heath Ledger died  of a comabination of sleeping pills.

When they found me, I lay naked in my bed, the way they wanted to see me. But Norma Jean, she didn't answer. Then I just slept, I left Marilyn to them.
