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
