You take my hand and smile,

“Why don’t you stay awhile?”

278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSepmatpgFc

You smile and laugh while holding my hand,

Yet you really misunderstand.

278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0WL4NeIX3

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you see it, my dear?

278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL2QFKMEw2

These people are not mine,

They all sip from fancy flutes of wine,

278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFcDp7Wb2H

And they stare over the rim of their glasses,

Gaze scrutinizing, with the intent to harass.

278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmphdw3cPzs

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you hear it, my dear?

278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk3xYRLZaJ

These people titter and giggle, preening behind imaginary fans,

Calculating eyes, whispered promises of unacted plans.

278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9zsrQwzyJ

They mock my clothes, my hair, my skin,

Saying “it’s too plain, such a sin.”

278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqvEH27qyd

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you feel it, my dear?

278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Sxzqnnqup

The tension is thick enough to cut with a knife,

They are all hungering to ruin my life.

278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAVNXXtYhA

Cameras flash, it hurts my eyes,

This party will be my reputation’s demise.

278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0OLdMXg5x

I do not belong here,

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

278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSetmZ53RIN

You take my hand and smile,

“Why don’t you stay awhile?”

278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYhFVm98sS

But your smile is sharp and unkind,

I was always an afterthought, two steps behind.

278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZli0RA80HK

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?”

278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdABVDFvsZo

“I don’t belong here,

But now it’s your time to fear.”

278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3pWhcnTMG

The house is burning,

Nerves have my stomach churning.

278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmUG9LVuZo

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

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

278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyinLDFo43

The house is on fire, ashes are falling,

Your time is calling.

278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciz0jXbHFq

I belong here, amidst the fire and sulfuric ash,

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

278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxxLD7ZLoJ

I am Prometheus,

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

278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlHC0FizDH

Doomed to fall, betrayed by your own,

How does it feel to be alone?

278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQowPNt9AKZ

I belong amidst the ashes and fiery flame.

278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAqabryTYp

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