let me be

if i seem indifferent and distant
don't talk or do things that i used to do
just let me be

if i no longer amuse you
or give you that smile that you have gotten used to
let me be

if i want to be alone
and wander through the pages of a book
let me be

i am entitled for silence
for silence is my refuge
i am allowed to be alone
for it is the only way to be with my self
i am excused not to join you
in whatever you do
because you don't amuse me
and what you do is neither amusing

so please, let me be
