Room 9

Distant voices in time I hear
Broken silence to disappear

Surrounding walls
Play shadows of the fears I had
And I regret not following
Emerging shapes
Out of the noise my pain to feed
As lights recede room 9 remains

Hallway noises there to ignore
My saviours piled up in stacks of four
Staring into the numbing lake
Static noises do me awake
