Help me disentangle
    my selfish self
        from my selfless self.

Help me disentangle
    my old self
        from my transforming self.

Help me disentangle
    my masked self
        from my authentic self.

Help me disentangle
    my broken self
        from my healing self.

Yes, I know it's a process,
    so help me disentangle 
        my impatient self
            from my mindful, present, grateful self.

Amen.
