I am the actor
The Thespian
The Fool
To the world a cat
Looking at the Queen
Not a man
With Longing in his heart
I smile and laugh
While I die
I die and rot
While I heal
I am the leper
With a face
I starve while
While I feed
I am the actor
The Thespian
The fool
I am the unloved lover
Moved by the unmoving
The Unthought thought
Known by all — held by none
The prince of lies
Telling truth
The prince of peace
Locked in battle
My face famous
My skill unknown
My deception complete
My pain mine onto me
