Voice Lessons by Brandon Wilson

you may sometimes find
clouds hangin’ round your mind
static rising tides
your words get lost inside

so you question yourself
wonder if you need some help
but there’s no one else
who’s felt what you’ve felt

lean a little closer
you’re not starting over no
it’s an invitation
to make a little space for yourself
so let’s begin
our voice lessons

sip a second whiskey neat
feel numb and that’s relief
tell yourself tomorrow
that’s the day you’ll make it so

you’ll have the conversation
end the situation you’re in
wake up in the mornin’
everything looks daunting again

lean a little closer
you’re not starting over no
it’s an invitation
to make a little space for yourself
so let’s begin
our voice lessons

I won’t say it’s easy no
but it’s simple this I know

If you want to take a step
close your eyes and draw a breath
and let’s begin
our voice lessons
