Island

I remember when it happened
when I opened my eyes
the world was in chaos then
but nothing like it is now
my mindset didn't just change 
it had to evolve 
and when it did 
everything that I was 
no longer existed 
I found myself on an island 
deserted 
treated like a child
who didn't know any better
not being taken seriously
why are you so positive 
look at the world around you 
don't you see what's going on 
of course I see what's going on
I saw that then 
and I still see it now
even with my eyes closed
I just feel more balanced
than I was before
but maybe that's just me
