Let me be myself a bit

Let me melt myself a bit
Let me relieve myself a bit
Let me unleash myself a bit
Let me be myself a bit...

My heart was loaded, in fact overloaded
with rocks of regrets and also guilts
of my past's mistakes and misdeeds,
with this useless load how could it proceed,
But O Guruji! it's by your grace so full
I've removed that cart, and i'm no longer a bull;
I've melted myself a bit
I've relieved myself a bit
I've unleashed myself a bit
I've become myself a bit...

My mind had become a pile of garbage
a putrid corner of filthy thoughts accumulated with age,
rare good thoughts were rendered shrouded
in the dump of dirty ones that always followed,
But you must have blossomed in that mud for sure
it's no stench since the day it became yours;
I've cleaned myself a bit
I've relieved myself a bit
I've unleashed myself a bit
I've become myself a bit...

My character constituted all dubiousness
furbished with the jewels of lies, lust and arrogance,
sans any compassion, rather replete with enviousness
an identity with 'the ego' was my characteristic helplessness,
but the fire of Your grace has burnt that falseness
and the light is showing the heavenly belongingness,
I've burnt my falseness a bit
I've relieved myself a bit
I've unleashed myself a bit
I've become myself a bit...
  
My existence was defined, but in fact confined,
by ignorant people around, with their believes unrefined,
my vision was made restricted to their narrow religion 
where every preach was alien, and nothing was mine
I had to accept them, Or nobody would be benign;
Who am I? was totally forgotten 
until when you lit that flame of wisdom
where I could see myself in a vast extension;
since then
I've opened myself a bit
I've relieved myself a bit
I've unleashed myself a bit
I've become myself a bit
and Let me be myself a bit...
