I don't feel the need to do this.. (But I'll take a shot)

You could say I'm somewhat subtle
but in this case, this is my exception
of wasted time, in the sense
that we're both better off  
turning our backs.  
You go ahead and face your ego  
what you claim to be.  
And while I lost trust in you,  
you also lost my respect.  
 
Not that you'd care to earn it back  
(If we're assuming I'd give you the chance)  
You carry on, having a cry.  
Accuse me of shit I've never done  
all for the pathetic assertion  
that age defines it all.  
See, if I were to have been raised  
in a white, padded room.  
For my entire existence.  
Would knowledge still come to me  
only through age?  
 
No, your basis on fact,  
it's feeble at best.  
What person of science  
would make such a claim?  
And it's laughable  
when you wave it in my face.  
You expected me to lose my pride  
my dignity  
and my self respect.  
To serve you, without question  
you're in for the very same shock  
that's rocked you before.  
 
See you've been caught out.  
thankfully though  
you saved me the effort  
when you showed yourself out.  
Out of a future  
and into your familiar pit  
of self-inflicted pain.  
 
But here's the thing  
It's your loss and it's my gain.
