I feel like a rat

I feel like a rat
The one that is always first to run
Scurrying around in search of a cover  
Shutting itself in dark little corners    
Just out of fear

I feel like a rat
Lurking around even when peril is near  
Gnawing at all things important and silly
Being a fugitive for no real reason
Just out of fetish              
       
I feel like a rat          
Being an object of all experiments  
Trusting every delicious trap
Poisoning my soul to death
Just out of fancy                  
                                               
 I just feel like one.    
A Rat!

Silence

Silence is a lethal creature
Like a little reptile
Perhaps poisonous than the snakes
And deadlier than the scorpions

They creep in between people  
At first with quiet sophistication
And then when you least suspect
they lash out with their fangs
Biting love to dust
