I deconstructed my entire self
Piece by piece fell away
They'll all get a new chance
I wasn't sure who I was
So how could I know what I was?
But that's no reason
to tear my whole foundation out
It took years to pour and mold
And harden
Years I can't get back
Deracinated
Before we are remade
We must first be broken
I don't want to be unrecognized
Just unrecognizable
You'll know me (because now you want to)
But not before I do
God is the architect
But I must give him the pieces first
The broken boards and scrap
From which a temple shall arise
