wash away

wash away O God wash away
and let me not remember
who I thought I was

I now know who I am 
more clearly than ever 
I was known to you
even before I came into a being, 

called to be a human, 
you knew me and beheld my unformed being
that crystal
handcrafted by you 
to make me who I am
that no one or nothing 
can contaminate or ruin

I know now

so wash away 

all the ways I contaminated myself
with the view of the world and others
not coming from you
I clearly do not want to be 

anything other than 
that crystal 

you installed in me.
