Like a rat you run, far off to woe, Didn’t say goodbye — I don’t care, though. Why play the human role for show, To seem more sweet, more charming, though? You’re a rat, a beast — that’s how it goes, That’s how you were born, that’s how it flows. Sorrow’s useless to you now, I know — Like a rat, you squeak and scurry below.

Like a Rat
Like a rat you run, far off to woe, Didn’t say goodbye — I don’t care, though. Why play the human role for show, To seem more sweet, more charming, though? You’re a rat, a beast — that’s how it goes, That’s how you were born, that’s how it flows. Sorrow’s useless to you now, I know — Like a rat, you squeak and scurry below.
A confessional piece about being abandoned mid-chaos — capturing the energy of an action, not defining a person. Raw, situational, and universal.
