You take my hand and smile,

“Why don’t you stay awhile?”

283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif0nL4YsBU

You smile and laugh while holding my hand,

Yet you really misunderstand.

283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrozj2BE5k

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you see it, my dear?

283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCmgfVgdAa

These people are not mine,

They all sip from fancy flutes of wine,

283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmLXR6ldbV

And they stare over the rim of their glasses,

Gaze scrutinizing, with the intent to harass.

283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA3qGGWR2u

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you hear it, my dear?

283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMnnFmv9k0

These people titter and giggle, preening behind imaginary fans,

Calculating eyes, whispered promises of unacted plans.

283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0V5VEoRsg

They mock my clothes, my hair, my skin,

Saying “it’s too plain, such a sin.”

283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdziPKqNMCb

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you feel it, my dear?

283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFgJdvMIzi

The tension is thick enough to cut with a knife,

They are all hungering to ruin my life.

283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvAHoLKDht

Cameras flash, it hurts my eyes,

This party will be my reputation’s demise.

283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsRtIxUnm6

I do not belong here,

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

283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yhCaYMJuq

You take my hand and smile,

“Why don’t you stay awhile?”

283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAPEcnnx3s

But your smile is sharp and unkind,

I was always an afterthought, two steps behind.

283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAbcZALUMb

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?”

283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4rAYEh7Np

“I don’t belong here,

But now it’s your time to fear.”

283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyrBmjXPps

The house is burning,

Nerves have my stomach churning.

283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOyKi3REEE

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

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

283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40QonrOq2V

The house is on fire, ashes are falling,

Your time is calling.

283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB5S8DX7rA

I belong here, amidst the fire and sulfuric ash,

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

283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX6q1FvLBv

I am Prometheus,

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

283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHr1SACPgQ

Doomed to fall, betrayed by your own,

How does it feel to be alone?

283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxby5LLSuHt

I belong amidst the ashes and fiery flame.

283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJrlPnuAt0

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