Frightened Rainbow Mouse

April 4, 2024

I cower and hide
within the home I've made
smelling the air
straining my ears
hoping I'll find the predators
before they find me

I know they're out there
I won't know them at first
Until they attack me
It's safer to stay here
far, far away
from everything that will hurt me

I'm only a small mouse
covered in rainbow fur
Different from all the others
I only want to be happy
Is that so wrong?

To be a small, happy rainbow mouse
Is that so wrong?
