This Is This World

Leave me alone, let me squander in sorrow
My emotions
But don't you dare get near me.

I'll kill you with my gaze
Or drown you in blood,
Be it yours, or mine.
But whatever you do
Keep those words at bay.

I am an actress
A picture of aptitude
I direct a world
Where what I say does what I want
And what I want is the law.
You die if you don't follow the laws.
But this isn't that world,
This is this world.
And all I can say is
Although I am a monster
And although I would sacrifice your flesh to myself in that other world
All the power I have in this one is to tell you to stand back
And don't talk to me
But I can't make that happen.
