Let it Go

Pierced in the heart by a sinister dark
Thrown from and insecure tongue
Unaware of the arrow sticking out of her chest
Embedded when she was so young
I never would have thought
That the poison would rot
Away and away and away, it eats at her pride
And she constantly hides, afraid of what others will say
And often at night she turns out the light
Anxiously waiting for sleep
The world of her dreams is better it seems
There she can finally be free
But the arrow it stays, it’s there when she wakes
Binding her feet to the ground
Perpetually holding her back from her goals
A mountain she can’t get around
Let it go, dear
And let your worries fall
Let it go, dear
Nothing to fear at all
Let it go, dear
Now she is old, her body is cold
Alone in the bed as she cries
Nobody visits and tells her how alone
She quietly closes her eyes
Through all of her days, arrows remain
Never permitting release
And with her last breath she is waiting for death
Hoping for peace
Let it go, dear
And let your worries fall
Let it go, dear
Nothing to fear at all
Let it go, dear
Let it go, dear
