You take my hand and smile,

“Why don’t you stay awhile?”

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQctOSujIv

You smile and laugh while holding my hand,

Yet you really misunderstand.

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDVx56tNGA

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you see it, my dear?

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKA6Wbu14f

These people are not mine,

They all sip from fancy flutes of wine,

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy5UTobhVL

And they stare over the rim of their glasses,

Gaze scrutinizing, with the intent to harass.

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG53M77JTB

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you hear it, my dear?

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8STKOpsreO

These people titter and giggle, preening behind imaginary fans,

Calculating eyes, whispered promises of unacted plans.

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Cr2PmQHzK

They mock my clothes, my hair, my skin,

Saying “it’s too plain, such a sin.”

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBGiM3JUjC

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you feel it, my dear?

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwPu34T27q

The tension is thick enough to cut with a knife,

They are all hungering to ruin my life.

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWibqsxJkh

Cameras flash, it hurts my eyes,

This party will be my reputation’s demise.

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhknEr5UyE

I do not belong here,

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

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt7UYNxKxN

You take my hand and smile,

“Why don’t you stay awhile?”

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPDdEcl4pH

But your smile is sharp and unkind,

I was always an afterthought, two steps behind.

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh9Mb9educ

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?”

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMbyP5kkGj

“I don’t belong here,

But now it’s your time to fear.”

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrTFldIrYg

The house is burning,

Nerves have my stomach churning.

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4OyumRHTl

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

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

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zMI0EanJg

The house is on fire, ashes are falling,

Your time is calling.

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcNDcqm6Zp

I belong here, amidst the fire and sulfuric ash,

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

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeClwFj1Fo

I am Prometheus,

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

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9V7eqtFTP

Doomed to fall, betrayed by your own,

How does it feel to be alone?

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz6nNmt4Mw

I belong amidst the ashes and fiery flame.

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAweXJZ71P

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