Dying To Self

Is dying to self an awful thing? 
Nay! ‘Tis but the process that ultimately brings
The best of us grown out

I shudder and cling to that that I know
My familiar rut, behaviors that flow
Naturally from me

Around and around in the same old track
Getting stuck deeper, so much that I lack
Would I but be willing to let go

To turn myself upward to those better things
Relinquish the rust and jagged dings
Reach for the Lifting Hand
