Room of Silence

Do not misunderstand me
Do not be judgemental
I am not aloof
To the things around me
I am not refusing to care
About those you think 
care
I am not

Sometimes it is only wise
To live in a Room of 
Silence
Where
My shaded thoughts are 
drowned
In a memory of myself
Where I can believe in my 
self again
There
The fountain of soothing 
voices
Are none but my own
And
My heart heals
So that it is not tempted
To hurt you
