Awakened

For so long now I've been
Sleeping
Slumbering
Hiding away
Playing my own little games
In my own little world
So careful not to allow any
To spill out onto another
But you could not let me be
You would not let me sleep
You simply had to prod
Had to poke
Had to keep going
Had to keep pushing
And now that I'm awake
Now that I'm angry
I do not think
You will like
What comes next.
