You take my hand and smile,

“Why don’t you stay awhile?”

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU01d1Tk7nr

You smile and laugh while holding my hand,

Yet you really misunderstand.

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwpbWInNYe

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you see it, my dear?

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjkDkVbvHv

These people are not mine,

They all sip from fancy flutes of wine,

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U7EnjmUsl

And they stare over the rim of their glasses,

Gaze scrutinizing, with the intent to harass.

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR4pYYKXLo

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you hear it, my dear?

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXvVAhdWjw

These people titter and giggle, preening behind imaginary fans,

Calculating eyes, whispered promises of unacted plans.

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWBOy7tZk8

They mock my clothes, my hair, my skin,

Saying “it’s too plain, such a sin.”

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq1jB1OEQj

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you feel it, my dear?

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA0XBr0OCu

The tension is thick enough to cut with a knife,

They are all hungering to ruin my life.

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIeOL3PN6K

Cameras flash, it hurts my eyes,

This party will be my reputation’s demise.

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykAmxFp59z

I do not belong here,

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

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO4oomo7I2

You take my hand and smile,

“Why don’t you stay awhile?”

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw4D1MeIQ9

But your smile is sharp and unkind,

I was always an afterthought, two steps behind.

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QZaz97bEQ

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?”

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet9vNWs0Jv

“I don’t belong here,

But now it’s your time to fear.”

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAObN5oIhs

The house is burning,

Nerves have my stomach churning.

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYW4aR9GsQp

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

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

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz9YnNoZPn

The house is on fire, ashes are falling,

Your time is calling.

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p0NEEDqzV

I belong here, amidst the fire and sulfuric ash,

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

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cXnpE99fv

I am Prometheus,

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

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDL94HLkv0

Doomed to fall, betrayed by your own,

How does it feel to be alone?

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHTbLZ1QAu

I belong amidst the ashes and fiery flame.

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeZw6johXO

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