Crawling Out

by

Laura Beth Leither

Crawling out of a rat's dark life
He squints as light burns his eyes
Slowly emerging to join the rest
Leaving behind his forgotten nest
Afraid and yet so excited is he
Wondering if he can join me
And live a life so full of joy
He buried back as a little boy
He hears the noises all around
How loud people's lives can sound
Frightened that he'll not make it now
He trys to retreat to the life he'd drowned
"But you musn't go back again," I say.
"That life was fake and built of clay."
But my demands they sound so insecure
Now his life before seems my only cure.
