Tediously Undignified

You cannot take from me
that which I have yet to discover
Although I walk upon a crumbling wall
it is you who fortified my ignorance
Witness my strength grow exponentially 
as I venture further beyond your reach
All that you are has become tedious 
I have discovered my own significance
My indifference somehow diminishes you
and your response is less than dignified
