dismantle my world.

I fall helplessly to my knees
Imploring you to penetrate my pride;
Pleading with you to reveal my rebellion;
Begging you to unveil my fear.
Dismantle my world.

Take the fragments that remain,
Sanctify and consecrate them;
Rid my soul of the shameful disgraces
that haunt my mind like shackles.
Purge my world.

Gather this broken soul in your arms,
Holding the shards in the palm of your hand.
But only when your work is concluded,
And not until I am reduced and stripped.
Rebuild my world.
