King's Impersonator

Lonely
in the crowd
king's impersonator
alone
like an unwanted pet
talking to himself
in lost tongues
lost lives
like weightless flies
that fall around
dead...

King's impersonator
surrounded from people
by tens,
by hundreds
and still lonely
like an unwanted pet
in the kingdom of loneliness...

I could feel the loneliness in this poem. It carries a lighthearted feel but the sadness is deep. I like how you did this. Really nice.
