By the rat

Be glad that I am still here

you should love my prescence

why wouldn't you?

 

I protect your back

that is, when you're looking

when you don't look, I merely have a little fun.

 

You have no reason to hate me

humans and their petty grudges

I did that a while ago, get over it!

 

Why do you not like that I keep an eye on you?

I bring my friends with me for backup

you know, in case anything goes wrong.

 

For goodness sake, I can't believe you told the public about my cravings

humans are just too appetizing sometimes, you know?

It was just paint, calm down.

 

I'll be back

with more of my friends

then you'll see who's the main character now...

    Revival

    It's a band piece

    weird, I know

    it's from last year

    and we only played it in concert once

    but it means a lot to me

    it reminds me of a lot.

    Me

    How

    do others see me?

    Do they see a girl in gray cargo pants and light blue thermal quarter zip?

    Do they see a friend who loves them despite her crankiness?

    Do they see a quiet awkward girl who prefers books to people?
