For the longest time I have been focused on building myself up
But with mismatched bricks and shaky foundations it feels like I’m in a death trap
Now I’m gonna unbuild myself, slowly deconstruct
Until I’m left bare, rebuilding with the bricks of the past, I will not lack
Those same bricks that have been caging me in
Will be used to develop thicker skin
Foundations made of faith and compassion
Where doubt and fear may be present but not overwhelming
Although the process may be bittersweet
Where losing my old self feels like a win and a defeat
The ground I’ll walk on will feel solid and sure under my feet
Merging my past hurts with my future hopes like reinforced concrete
