You take my hand and smile,

“Why don’t you stay awhile?”

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATagdxwctq

You smile and laugh while holding my hand,

Yet you really misunderstand.

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo10paSRFFa

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you see it, my dear?

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S9Wxle0Qk

These people are not mine,

They all sip from fancy flutes of wine,

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObZ3HqiRUT

And they stare over the rim of their glasses,

Gaze scrutinizing, with the intent to harass.

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLn8Yf3Dbd

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you hear it, my dear?

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1btndqUn2

These people titter and giggle, preening behind imaginary fans,

Calculating eyes, whispered promises of unacted plans.

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4Z2bFFIMg

They mock my clothes, my hair, my skin,

Saying “it’s too plain, such a sin.”

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQDPg0pg2b

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you feel it, my dear?

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PYoOQPiQa

The tension is thick enough to cut with a knife,

They are all hungering to ruin my life.

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4IZUtIuN7

Cameras flash, it hurts my eyes,

This party will be my reputation’s demise.

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD38x6HK8bj

I do not belong here,

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

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxLizflJ2S

You take my hand and smile,

“Why don’t you stay awhile?”

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxxS03az6v

But your smile is sharp and unkind,

I was always an afterthought, two steps behind.

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLmxTBdkVM

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?”

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1y6rkbCki

“I don’t belong here,

But now it’s your time to fear.”

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2BoahVzKz

The house is burning,

Nerves have my stomach churning.

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT55RMXcUYf

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

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

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOe5IrWngw

The house is on fire, ashes are falling,

Your time is calling.

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLzhbGJnT0

I belong here, amidst the fire and sulfuric ash,

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

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGuOBiaUd6

I am Prometheus,

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

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfEaaGqh85

Doomed to fall, betrayed by your own,

How does it feel to be alone?

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJbSOcajvD

I belong amidst the ashes and fiery flame.

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oUX5ggaYU

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