I Am Prometheus.

You take my hand and smile,

“Why don’t you stay awhile?”

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6V7yOTXnn

You smile and laugh while holding my hand,

Yet you really misunderstand.

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dqJRlOVmI

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you see it, my dear?

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq39BKJ11b8

These people are not mine,

They all sip from fancy flutes of wine,

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mwUbQX017

And they stare over the rim of their glasses,

Gaze scrutinizing, with the intent to harass.

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoavvkEyk3r

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you hear it, my dear?

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWnK7EbxA0

These people titter and giggle, preening behind imaginary fans,

Calculating eyes, whispered promises of unacted plans.

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6Y9y4VdHe

They mock my clothes, my hair, my skin,

Saying “it’s too plain, such a sin.”

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQfK4bjQ2e

I do not belong here,

Why can’t you feel it, my dear?

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbq5nZTQEO

The tension is thick enough to cut with a knife,

They are all hungering to ruin my life.

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlwlAidQHA

Cameras flash, it hurts my eyes,

This party will be my reputation’s demise.

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5YBlyn35Z

I do not belong here,

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

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVEXCYhVpx

You take my hand and smile,

“Why don’t you stay awhile?”

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDcHIlmpQr

But your smile is sharp and unkind,

I was always an afterthought, two steps behind.

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlOhZyPeDD

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?”

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3KMkBs9pl

“I don’t belong here,

But now it’s your time to fear.”

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapbfaPJLnH

The house is burning,

Nerves have my stomach churning.

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHUsTFLlFP

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

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

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmQggQIdy4

The house is on fire, ashes are falling,

Your time is calling.

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs4td1FsCM

I belong here, amidst the fire and sulfuric ash,

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

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvuFSKBgM6

I am Prometheus,

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

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0TlsNCdfk

Doomed to fall, betrayed by your own,

How does it feel to be alone?

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCjvk6izbq

I belong amidst the ashes and fiery flame.

335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKyf8EQK1k

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