Let Me

Let not the widows weep under shrouds

Let not the rain pour from the clouds

Let not one wrist drip its blood, thick and sweet

Let not the world drip down around me

Let not the artist be more tortured than must

Let not the actor be one to mistrust

Let not the writer cease to speak his own

Let not the children run out of their home

Let not the insignificant matters of today

Stop you from paving your own way

Let not a person keep you from being free

I want to write

So let me

Only thing I would change, personally, is the last line I would put 'So let me be'...just because it flows nicer with the syllable rythm. Otherwise, perfection!

Just let me be me and I swear I won't do anything that will attract cops. Good rhyme Dog.

Speaking out for freedom of speech/press? There are certain inalienable rights that we must be allowed. :3

[Annabelle Lee]

let not that lack of paper sully thy thoughts...bring forth you inside and tarry not. this is great!

[Annabelle Lee]

THank you very much so

This is very soothing. It reads like something from the Bible. I am not sure of syntax of this line:

Let not the artist be more tortured than must

Did you mean more than must?

Good job on this one.

I was playing around with that line a little bit, I'm not quite sure how to change it, keep the effect, and make it less awkward
