You take my hand and smile,

“Why don’t you stay awhile?”

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU4C1f2smv

You smile and laugh while holding my hand,

Yet you really misunderstand.

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSZJE5BLA8

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you see it, my dear?

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HGmljK44E

These people are not mine,

They all sip from fancy flutes of wine,

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZndjuDCdqg

And they stare over the rim of their glasses,

Gaze scrutinizing, with the intent to harass.

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aQeUCMNvF

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you hear it, my dear?

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWhESV8JGQ

These people titter and giggle, preening behind imaginary fans,

Calculating eyes, whispered promises of unacted plans.

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk6JLNnAEP

They mock my clothes, my hair, my skin,

Saying “it’s too plain, such a sin.”

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOm5Ju1NAI

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you feel it, my dear?

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhSvOOIrgm

The tension is thick enough to cut with a knife,

They are all hungering to ruin my life.

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpnE3NgkQQ

Cameras flash, it hurts my eyes,

This party will be my reputation’s demise.

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTdsu5OwVy

I do not belong here,

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

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUzvZDYOkm

You take my hand and smile,

“Why don’t you stay awhile?”

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWAl9E9GQr

But your smile is sharp and unkind,

I was always an afterthought, two steps behind.

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjUjNrgy6Z

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?”

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnhOSu5Wwo

“I don’t belong here,

But now it’s your time to fear.”

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApybhROdWj

The house is burning,

Nerves have my stomach churning.

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY5obmPRby

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

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

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPV33JIxEF

The house is on fire, ashes are falling,

Your time is calling.

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdjuxD9JGw

I belong here, amidst the fire and sulfuric ash,

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

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtIk9bzpmO

I am Prometheus,

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

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Qe4ZwaMQh

Doomed to fall, betrayed by your own,

How does it feel to be alone?

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOUy15lTrH

I belong amidst the ashes and fiery flame.

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGKzSX5SDB

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