You take my hand and smile,

“Why don’t you stay awhile?”

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEfhgtv9mT

You smile and laugh while holding my hand,

Yet you really misunderstand.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkI5ioI6B9

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you see it, my dear?

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme2wu7P2hG

These people are not mine,

They all sip from fancy flutes of wine,

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPXA0fSuEq

And they stare over the rim of their glasses,

Gaze scrutinizing, with the intent to harass.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B7vPIQrG7

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you hear it, my dear?

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCfhjbfQdD

These people titter and giggle, preening behind imaginary fans,

Calculating eyes, whispered promises of unacted plans.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23D0CUlh0w

They mock my clothes, my hair, my skin,

Saying “it’s too plain, such a sin.”

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw3OkGVEOw

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you feel it, my dear?

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz6N6m9qQg

The tension is thick enough to cut with a knife,

They are all hungering to ruin my life.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DuYyDMua2

Cameras flash, it hurts my eyes,

This party will be my reputation’s demise.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrywBvGoW1

I do not belong here,

But I guess you never cared, aren’t I right, my dear?

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCQetLjtxV

You take my hand and smile,

“Why don’t you stay awhile?”

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xiQC1cbXO

But your smile is sharp and unkind,

I was always an afterthought, two steps behind.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWiEcohK39

Your grip is bruising my wrist,

“Why don’t you let me go? No? If you insist.”

I smile politely, grasping your hand,

“Dear, don’t you understand?”

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UbSTsQGFv

“I don’t belong here,

But now it’s your time to fear.”

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKetLOLVGW

The house is burning,

Nerves have my stomach churning.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbmz3svcts

But I smile and play my part in this theatrical play.

It’s their downfall, their poisonous rot leading to their own decay.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkud30A7ZR

The house is on fire, ashes are falling,

Your time is calling.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQwnRHFe6v

I belong here, amidst the fire and sulfuric ash,

Not among the finely-dressed people and their camera flash.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOELNwfnRM

I am Prometheus,

Well-versed in the language of fire, but you are only Theseus.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIpU9kw7Xx

Doomed to fall, betrayed by your own,

How does it feel to be alone?

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJQKU7dDjQ

I belong amidst the ashes and fiery flame.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ0Oa3KbD3

A creature to behold, a monster of your creation and only yours to blame.
