Analysis of Let me be



Let  me  be ------
like myself .

Keep  your  sermons  locked
and  those  'quotable  quotes'
 Let me  be ----
like  myself.
or ,  as  my   Soul   guides .

If  I  slip back ,  -shall  cover  it
in time
if  I  tumble , -----shall  rise.
No!    I  do  no't  want  to be
a  zerox  copy  of   anyone .

Better,  stand  aside
or   wait   ----and
let  me  be   like  myself
or,  as  my  Soul  decides .
