"The Lab Experiment"

Both the lab rat and the scientist,
I'm an experiment of my own,
Trying to find a way, to traverse this maze,
Forever lost in the unknown,
Another mind-altering substance,
Yet another file placed in a drawer,
Fascinated by my own behavior,
And the intentions at its core,
What primal instinct will surface?
In what given situation?
Among a collective so chaotic,
I've found endless information,
They say I can't play games with my sanity...
And yet I feel I'm in control,
And if that should be, a fallacy,
I hope I'm lost before they know.
