AWAKENING



A bitter chill

Touches my skin My eyes fly open It's a cage I am in.

I reach out my hands Touch the smooth glass. Pain shoots through me. I wait for it to pass.

I seem to be. floating. What's going on? Faces I see Then they are gone.

Hissing I hear. Water flows away. And for the first time I see light of day.

And then I see him Standing so tall. He is the one Who made me fall.

I narrow my eyes. He's staring at me. I shatter the glass With a thrust of my knee.

I leap out of the tube Run for the door. People who stop me Fall to the floor.

I think hard and I change. Now I have my wings. I see a skylight And oh! My heart sings.

Freedom so near. Get out of this lab! But a man lunges at me My ankle he grabs.

I push him away, Rise into the air. Now I'm outside, The wind in my hair.

I fly for a while To the city lights. Now I have awakened. I have my rights.

A lab rat no longer. Kazuya I am. But am I the devil Or am I the man?
