exposing the roots: uproot me so I may be planted once again

Uproot me so I may be planted once again

prune me so I may grow again

Discipline me so I may walk in freedom once again

Take from me so I may be granted more

Guide me so I may guide others

Release me so I may follow

In every bitter sip remains the sweet after taste I know to be there

Yet I am in a constant state or forgetfulness

Take me to the place where I am overwhelmed by you

and not just myself

my thoughts

the propblems I create in my mind

the way I defeat myself

when you all along showed me nothing but victory

when you all along showed me the way to break free

and I in turn took that freedom and wrapped it so tightly

around myself that it became the very thing

that suffocated me

the lie that made the truth seem fragile

and the illusion more powerful than reality

reality

I now come to the place of reality

realizing that reality is----- I was a spiritual being before

a physical being

that I was united

before seperated

that I sang before I moaned

that I was fed before I ever experienced hunger

that I danced before I fell
