I'm a Worthless King

Can I trade this crown for a hat?
Please.
Anyone?
Will you trade this golden crown for a simple hat?
I promise,
it is a wonderful crown.
It is all you could ever wish for.
It's not cursed,
I swear.
Well,
for anyone else it is not cursed.
The only problem with it is,
that when I wear my crown,
I am a King.
As a King I cannot leave.
As a King I cannot share.
As a King I cannot have a chance to be with them.
I beg you to take all my lands,
take my castle.
Please,
take all my wealth.
Just in return leave me an old worn hat.
Please take my golden crown,
laced with jewels.
And if you could,
leave me that haggard hat.
Please take all I have.
Leave nothing but that sad torn hat.
All my kingdom,
all my wealth.
None of it matters,
if I can't share it all with them.
So a simple hat I request.
So I might walk outside of these blasted walls.
So I can have a chance for love.
Just one chance.
I know there is no sure promise.
Just.
One.
Chance.
Please take this heavy crown from me.
It may look light,
it feels like molten lead.
It is heavy and hot.

It weighs not upon my head, 
but on my heart instead.

  2. I don't know what to say. But I think you'll understand what I mean when I say that.
