All Out

I’m pulling sound waves from the silence

And rearranging them into rhythm.

I’m exhaling symphonies into the quiet

And conducting notes with every blink.

Witness entire orchestras assembled

From the whir of the fan

And the drumming of my fingers.

Anything to drown out the whispers...

Stupid.

Garbage.

Not good enough.

They creep in during those peaceful moments,

When the raging world is still.

Demons breathing doubt into gray matter.

Their slinking assault has no sound.

And they leave every unassuming spector blind

To the war raging inside my mind.
