Let me break you open,

examin

every

flaw,

each broken

hollow

piece,

each stitch

holding you

together.


Let me un-wrap

you

from

you’re bonds.

un-leash

you from you’re chains.

free you from

imprisonment,

and throw

 away

the

key.


Let me throw you away,

uncover  

every  

flaw.


Let me expose you.

tear apart

all you

know.


Let me move you.

change

is

often

met with

resistance.

 

Let me hold you

hold your broken pieces.


Let me reveal you.

follow me.

let me lead you.


Let me discover you.

uncharted territory,

let me be your compass

pointing to

true north.


Let me show you

all i’m hiding.


So you can hold me.

and you can examine me.

and you can discover me.

and reveal me.

and you can unwrap me.

and you can move me.

and you can heal me.

and then,

when you're finally done,

you can throw me away.
