You take my hand and smile,

“Why don’t you stay awhile?”

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAwGN3B2IT

You smile and laugh while holding my hand,

Yet you really misunderstand.

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCDykS5D5Z

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you see it, my dear?

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiZZPvPFVb

These people are not mine,

They all sip from fancy flutes of wine,

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSjwu49alz

And they stare over the rim of their glasses,

Gaze scrutinizing, with the intent to harass.

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPs3YnUtuJ

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you hear it, my dear?

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvv4whEho7

These people titter and giggle, preening behind imaginary fans,

Calculating eyes, whispered promises of unacted plans.

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkob9UQYxRT

They mock my clothes, my hair, my skin,

Saying “it’s too plain, such a sin.”

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW1Vrew6Zq

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you feel it, my dear?

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yi1sAehxh

The tension is thick enough to cut with a knife,

They are all hungering to ruin my life.

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz8fB0SSNK

Cameras flash, it hurts my eyes,

This party will be my reputation’s demise.

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTyqqcKPuG

I do not belong here,

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

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ344FAt6Sez

You take my hand and smile,

“Why don’t you stay awhile?”

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0LJirnVFr

But your smile is sharp and unkind,

I was always an afterthought, two steps behind.

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32ujornOpP

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?”

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLtQTEueeV

“I don’t belong here,

But now it’s your time to fear.”

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95uxQsQTBJ

The house is burning,

Nerves have my stomach churning.

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJx8iFsrzL

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

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

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngLPNFvPBs

The house is on fire, ashes are falling,

Your time is calling.

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbBcOj6pmS

I belong here, amidst the fire and sulfuric ash,

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

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPYCsnbTZA

I am Prometheus,

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

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhygzv892dD

Doomed to fall, betrayed by your own,

How does it feel to be alone?

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZKIDy96BA

I belong amidst the ashes and fiery flame.

311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFAdWvmDVf

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