Take Me

But take me as I am,

Not what I am yet to become.

Once I get to your arms,

I will re-learn to run.

Take me for what I am worth,

Not what I have lost.

Once I see your eyes,

I will kill my past.

But take me as I am,

Not what I am still chasing.

Once I finish this race,

I will be done with pacing.

And take me in like a poison,

Not like clear water.

Once I cleanse my sins,

You will thank the fathers.
