Broken Into Pieces
Take me as I am, just as I am,
For I am broken into pieces
With irregular edges, my flesh
Was scarred by hopelessness,
And, sometimes, utter despair
From destructive forces which
I…I alone could not conquer.
The pieces of me have struggled
To come together to reassemble
To make my whole worthy, and I
Want you to know I am capable
Of love, Lord, if you take me as I am.
