Intrusive timbre

A collaborative poem

in an empty room at 3am
malevolent thoughts
keep me company
their intrusive timbre 
stomping loudly over me

I choose this noise
embracing the symphony 
of loneliness
as it rises in crescendo
and leaves me bleeding

the sky of my consciousness
hangs low and limiting
it's darkness is a blanket 
so devoid of warmth
it keeps other souls out
and thus I am grateful

for nothing is as frightening
as opening up and
making myself vulnerable 
to the deafening chaos
that is other people

Please note:

sometimes when creating a collaborative poem, it ends up that even smaller fragments lead to a unified whole or that words and phrases call for further shaping and moulding. This is no reflection on the contributor. Instead, it’s a beautiful reminder that the creative process is always filled with twists and turns.
