Notes About The Poem

So Let It Be

All things must end; it’s plain to see
And death will come in time for me
Cessation of my  misery
And every kind of cruelly
So let it be
          So let it be

With wings I’ll fly from pain set free
To soar above each flower, each tree
Content in this, my destiny
So let it be
          So let it be

No longer will escape the plea
“God bring to end my agony
For you know my despondency
So, Let it be
          So, let it be"

No longer will I have to flee
from yoke of mediocrity 
I’ll be a blessed nonentity
So, let it be
          So, let it be

Timothy Hicks Date: 2/13/2016 4:22:00 PM Deep and powerful writing. Like something the greats of old would pen. I understand what you're saying about letting go of all and becoming a "nonentity" ... but for me I think the opposite would take place. You'll become everything you should be in it's truest form ... and every aspect of dis-ingenuity and fake-ness that might remain will just fall off of you, like shedding a skin. Rather it will be the ultimate form of BEING. Login to Reply

Laura Breidenthal Date: 1/13/2016 2:11:00 PM Excellent structure, and beautiful, emotive lines...definitely reads like a song..truly a sad touch, yet lovely all the same. All lives must come to the end, the sweet acceptance and tone of this piece is almost chilling... death is peaceful, perhaps some find solace in the thought of it, when the pain is just too deep..another excellent verse. Always, Laura Login to Reply

CayCay Jennings Date: 1/4/2016 2:04:00 PM Another relate-able write so worth the read. I love visiting here and I love the emotion in this poem ... CayCay Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 1/4/2016 2:11:00 PM Thanks, sweetie. I deal with depression and am on medication for it. I wish I could say that these writes are just....writes, but these thoughts come to me at times. Other times....I see the good in everything. It's my cross to bear. Thanks for being so kind to me today. I always remember a kindness. Hugs

Richard Lamoureux Date: 1/4/2016 7:26:00 AM This life we are afforded is both a gift and blessing. I believe it is important to be thankful for it. God does not promise us all that we think our lives should be, but if we trust in Him they will be amazing in the way He has planned for us.
