Microphone Pt. 1

What would you speak
Into the face of the microphone
As the pop filter
Stares back at you
Waiting for the words
To be borne from your mouth
As you give new life
To the hurt that has lain within you

As you speak
Your words offer comfort
A declaration and prayer of fortitude
And strength
And promise
And hope
And courage
To those needing it most

What would you speak
as the red recording light blinks
waiting for your truth
What would you speak
if you knew the fear and darkness
didn’t have the power to consume you
again, anymore
what could you speak
if you could say all of it
