Sing

Pour
In which the rain that falls
resembles your life
From sky to drainage
in moments

Rise
In which you pose like Tubman
and free captives
of self
of doubt

Run
In which Usain's got nothing on you
like the finishline is made of gold
pure gold
and it is yours for the taking

Speak
Though your vocal cords tremble
and you fear the very shadow cast behind you
Open your mouth
and let truth flow out of it

Sing
Like the whole world can hear you
and you know the very song that will set them free
The very song that will set them free
Sing
