You take my hand and smile,

“Why don’t you stay awhile?”

310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllhiVc3drG

You smile and laugh while holding my hand,

Yet you really misunderstand.

310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7MD8mCEMV

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you see it, my dear?

310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyHnZdG7h7

These people are not mine,

They all sip from fancy flutes of wine,

310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGj8WtyC5w

And they stare over the rim of their glasses,

Gaze scrutinizing, with the intent to harass.

310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yxSaiXAG4

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you hear it, my dear?

310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg4IFDgJPk

These people titter and giggle, preening behind imaginary fans,

Calculating eyes, whispered promises of unacted plans.

310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gea112cRt

They mock my clothes, my hair, my skin,

Saying “it’s too plain, such a sin.”

310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WBW8WStev

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you feel it, my dear?

310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtBCr5G6Uc

The tension is thick enough to cut with a knife,

They are all hungering to ruin my life.

310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfksWGDRDq

Cameras flash, it hurts my eyes,

This party will be my reputation’s demise.

310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmyQmt8kJr

I do not belong here,

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

310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQpUZvW4RO

You take my hand and smile,

“Why don’t you stay awhile?”

310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8zCbqDTDf

But your smile is sharp and unkind,

I was always an afterthought, two steps behind.

310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUGDeFBZZs

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?”

310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLBPcmvlXy

“I don’t belong here,

But now it’s your time to fear.”

310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsVBSHOaa6

The house is burning,

Nerves have my stomach churning.

310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgh6xNICMDi

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

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

310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZRLH7DpbX

The house is on fire, ashes are falling,

Your time is calling.

310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPUXT22s9N

I belong here, amidst the fire and sulfuric ash,

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

310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWT2C3CTqw

I am Prometheus,

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

310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsET9bi3vy

Doomed to fall, betrayed by your own,

How does it feel to be alone?

310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dfYnUNpBH

I belong amidst the ashes and fiery flame.

310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO6cToFcuX

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