You take my hand and smile,

“Why don’t you stay awhile?”

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRLzag33QJ

You smile and laugh while holding my hand,

Yet you really misunderstand.

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDMydeHLCC

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you see it, my dear?

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKnJfrRuqr

These people are not mine,

They all sip from fancy flutes of wine,

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IZJz2xWVp

And they stare over the rim of their glasses,

Gaze scrutinizing, with the intent to harass.

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ex5GBPFc5

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you hear it, my dear?

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVIPWxS2TR

These people titter and giggle, preening behind imaginary fans,

Calculating eyes, whispered promises of unacted plans.

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j6JdvtP3M

They mock my clothes, my hair, my skin,

Saying “it’s too plain, such a sin.”

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Hmy4EeDZU

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you feel it, my dear?

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtozP3byZBu

The tension is thick enough to cut with a knife,

They are all hungering to ruin my life.

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SWQDrka2w

Cameras flash, it hurts my eyes,

This party will be my reputation’s demise.

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3kzrFY8WE

I do not belong here,

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

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpQsLBkjGi

You take my hand and smile,

“Why don’t you stay awhile?”

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWkVI4X207

But your smile is sharp and unkind,

I was always an afterthought, two steps behind.

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIdbrHBwZL

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?”

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVGeSCIAPS

“I don’t belong here,

But now it’s your time to fear.”

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hAMiqUTWm

The house is burning,

Nerves have my stomach churning.

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSqnhnfU9r

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

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

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNqsN7bRHt

The house is on fire, ashes are falling,

Your time is calling.

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IZelua3bW

I belong here, amidst the fire and sulfuric ash,

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

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF0mdMMOFy

I am Prometheus,

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

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9izvgQJKO

Doomed to fall, betrayed by your own,

How does it feel to be alone?

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QWJK75Q33

I belong amidst the ashes and fiery flame.

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQd1jjyfeS

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