Let It Be Poem by Lizzy Scott

Some people bring you gifts,
Some bring you bricks to weigh you down
So they can swim a little higher
While you drown.

Some people mean so well
Their way was the best way
That they found.
But any other way

You choose is a brick
That weighs you down.
So tell me,
What do I do with this

Back pack full of bricks,
Sticks and stones and words that
Stuck to me like…..ticks……
Let it go. Let it be.

Brick by brick we can be free
Of all the words we say till we were
Our own enemy's
Let it go. Let it be.

Brick by brick we can believe
In the person God intended
Us to be.
Let it be.

Some people give themselves
A brick, I know most people do.
When we compare,
We fall short somewhere,

Its always true.
If all we see is where we fall
We brick the prison walls
Instead of trying to learn to fly

We've taught ourselves to fall.
So tell me, what do I do
with this back pack full of bricks,
Sticks and stones and words

That stuck to me like……ticks…..
Let it go. Let it be.
Brick by brick we can be free
Of the words we say till we were

Our own enemy's.
Let it go. Let it be.
Brick by brick we can believe
In the person god intended us to be.

Let it be.
We could believe in ourselves more,
We could try for unique
Instead of trying to conform

We could defy what they tell us
And don’t buy the lies they sell us
If were brave we can
Believe in what we are.
