Rat race

No matter how i try, I always feel like I become what I try so hard not to be. Like a rat running round a wheel, trying to get to the top, but the wheel keeps turning and I end up at where I started. Displacement equals zero. I don't want to be part of the rat race, I want to step out of the wheel and actually move forward and get something done. But to do so, u might meet a cat, and when there's a cat, there's gonna be trouble....
