Why I Don't Sleep

The Rat

     You know the saying "You can be whoever you want to be?" Clearly they've never dealt with a curse like me.
    
     It started when I was four and my life was great, I never once worried about my fate.

     My parents loved me and my friends were a blast, but that year my life went bad fast.

     First was my mother, she died a horrible fiery death, and not even a week later my father took his last breath.

     The worst of it all was that I found him like that, bloody and swollen like a forgotten sewer rat.

     After that life grew worse, everyone I loved fell under the curse.

     Friends, neighbors, it didn't matter who, as I built up my walls my loneliness grew.

     I guess I was right in the end, somehow I knew my life was over before it began.

    I've been beaten, starved, and betrayed, but the streets is where I remained.

    If you ask me I'll tell you why

     Because the streets are where all sewer rats die.
