Bianca Walker - From Scratch

I am nothing and everything at this moment
There is no ecstasy
There is no torment
Dormant

Timeless
With out suspicion or concern
With out arrogance or immunity
Emotionless
Suspended

There is no confusion
There is no knowledge
There is no assurance
My mind is clear
And my heart is open
I am willing and I am able

Capable

My legs are strong and sturdy
I am walking

All that was
Has been left behind me

All that will be
Is in front of me

All I have ever wanted is within my reach

I am a canvas again
No pigment
No color
No hues
A bare palette awaiting the first stoke of genius
Vibrant color that will be my path to follow

I am neither for you
Or against you

I will prosper with or without you
All bruises, scars, and doubt removed
Cleansed in all of me being

My eyes are open for the very first time
I am moving forward
