Hive Open Mic 135 / Let It Be

Hello, fellow Hive music lovers, and especially the @hiveopenmic community. It feels great to be back participating again. I've been away for two weeks as I've been swamped with job and studies. It's been a busy few weeks, but because I need a breather, singing and engaging here is a fantastic way to get one.
I missed being here!

The theme for this week is "Fight Oppression." Thank you for selecting such an intriguing theme, @indonesiabersatu. Sure, I thought, but how do we fight back if we are oppressed? How can we protect ourselves? What are our solutions? Oppression sucks, and sadly, it comes in many forms Politically, socially, religiously, and even in relationships. I have been in one, to be honest, but in a minor sense. It did still affect me though. It got me off guard at first but when it happened again, I had to learn to stand up for myself by speaking up and being assertive, even though I wanted to punch that effin' person in the face. LOL. Talking it out with my family and a few close friends was hugely helpful, as did eventually letting go and forgiving but not forgetting the lesson.

And so I chose the song "Let it be" by The Beatles. At the end of the day no matter how worked up I get caused by others I prefer to choose peace and let go. Having revenge or being violent is pointless. LET IT BE!

Song: Let It Be

Lyrics

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be

For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be,

And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me
Shinin' until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

And let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

P.S.
Please bear with me on the last bit of my video as I made a mistake and chose to LET IT BE. As I always say, I'm no expert on guitar. Nevertheless I'll keep playing and singing. LOL. And I need to go back to what I’m supposed to be doing now as my break is over. 😅😁

Thank You @hiveopenmic!
