Needs of Me

Break me down

make me come undone

burn me up

that I may rise from the ashes.

 

Take me apart

piece by piece

that I might once again 

simply 

be.

Cover my eyes and make me blind

so that I can see clearly once again.

Be the keeper of my sight

that I may rest upon your might.

Tie me up

so that I can be free.

Clip my wings

and watch me fly.

Cause me pain

so that I can cry.

 Kiss away my tears

as you walk me through my fears

Brush away my objections

and all these silly collections of preconceived notions

as we wander through the years.

Lock me up tight

so that I fear not the things in the night.

Keep me close

that I may not wander far from home.

Tear me down

and lift me up.

Make me breathe

so that I can be

me.
