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!
