Awoken

Don’t be surprised 
When you realize 
That I was left behind
And am no longer kind 

         For when I was left in my solitude 
         I began to see the truth
        And will no longer stand your attitude 
        Or the destruction of my youth 

   Because I have freed my mind
   And am no longer left behind 
   But rather light years ahead
   While you’re stuck in existential dread 

                                  So I must thank you
                                  For helping to free me 
                                  Your greatest mistake 
                                  Gave me my greatest gift
