You take my hand and smile,

“Why don’t you stay awhile?”

304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAozxvLmCl

You smile and laugh while holding my hand,

Yet you really misunderstand.

304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mOVUaZkVL

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you see it, my dear?

304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSe6N54XW2

These people are not mine,

They all sip from fancy flutes of wine,

304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhUOs8Wokv

And they stare over the rim of their glasses,

Gaze scrutinizing, with the intent to harass.

304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTVQGXZqiv

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you hear it, my dear?

304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwenQm6su3

These people titter and giggle, preening behind imaginary fans,

Calculating eyes, whispered promises of unacted plans.

304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzOfdNMZPo

They mock my clothes, my hair, my skin,

Saying “it’s too plain, such a sin.”

304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzsaowKREJ

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you feel it, my dear?

304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewkN6oyira

The tension is thick enough to cut with a knife,

They are all hungering to ruin my life.

304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMayojikB0S

Cameras flash, it hurts my eyes,

This party will be my reputation’s demise.

304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8W98waJlM

I do not belong here,

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

304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrv5oHRtF4

You take my hand and smile,

“Why don’t you stay awhile?”

304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh5bamRAFd

But your smile is sharp and unkind,

I was always an afterthought, two steps behind.

304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN1eUbDGww

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?”

304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR698IXnut

“I don’t belong here,

But now it’s your time to fear.”

304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2frs5s9ZZU

The house is burning,

Nerves have my stomach churning.

304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K5VqPmHib

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

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

304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx0dtJ649q

The house is on fire, ashes are falling,

Your time is calling.

304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfR1dgreaT

I belong here, amidst the fire and sulfuric ash,

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

304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzLJDoUKis

I am Prometheus,

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

304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4ODSwUwbA

Doomed to fall, betrayed by your own,

How does it feel to be alone?

304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi8znKKKVV

I belong amidst the ashes and fiery flame.

304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodm4Z6noXu

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