You take my hand and smile,

“Why don’t you stay awhile?”

222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUR81BaImq

You smile and laugh while holding my hand,

Yet you really misunderstand.

222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7BvZVn0Q2

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you see it, my dear?

222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BbdTohp6J

These people are not mine,

They all sip from fancy flutes of wine,

222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxSooXRdvN

And they stare over the rim of their glasses,

Gaze scrutinizing, with the intent to harass.

222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiWOgrYzYx

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you hear it, my dear?

222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguMEXWswUu

These people titter and giggle, preening behind imaginary fans,

Calculating eyes, whispered promises of unacted plans.

222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZdgYnlxJo

They mock my clothes, my hair, my skin,

Saying “it’s too plain, such a sin.”

222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoQ1pvqau9

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you feel it, my dear?

222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYubAN4rbWE

The tension is thick enough to cut with a knife,

They are all hungering to ruin my life.

222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBKx4raXil

Cameras flash, it hurts my eyes,

This party will be my reputation’s demise.

222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgw28ty7aJ

I do not belong here,

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

222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchnY5v6LIv

You take my hand and smile,

“Why don’t you stay awhile?”

222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNidGoUjNau

But your smile is sharp and unkind,

I was always an afterthought, two steps behind.

222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH8ohQBCtE

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?”

222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn4wAvL3rp

“I don’t belong here,

But now it’s your time to fear.”

222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaYXUe4vQ0

The house is burning,

Nerves have my stomach churning.

222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdM8M8K4CP

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

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

222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8zlcY3KAg

The house is on fire, ashes are falling,

Your time is calling.

222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDyvNkxCJy

I belong here, amidst the fire and sulfuric ash,

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

222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9AAJjvEpJ

I am Prometheus,

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

222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLFAACmEjE

Doomed to fall, betrayed by your own,

How does it feel to be alone?

222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA98a2EM8E3

I belong amidst the ashes and fiery flame.

222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhR5fxiFxy

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