I am nothing and everything at this moment <br />There is no ecstasy <br />There is no torment <br />Dormant <br /> <br />Timeless <br />With out suspicion or concern <br />With out arrogance or immunity <br />Emotionless <br />Suspended <br /> <br />There is no confusion <br />There is no knowledge <br />There is no assurance <br />My mind is clear <br />And my heart is open <br />I am willing and I am able <br /> <br />Capable <br /> <br />My legs are strong and sturdy <br />I am walking <br /> <br />All that was <br />Has been left behind me <br /> <br />All that will be <br />Is in front of me <br /> <br />All I have ever wanted is within my reach <br /> <br />I am a canvas again <br />No pigment <br />No color <br />No hues <br />A bare palette awaiting the first stoke of genius <br />Vibrant color that will be my path to follow <br /> <br />I am neither for you <br />Or against you <br /> <br />I will prosper with or without you <br />All bruises, scars, and doubt removed <br />Cleansed in all of me being <br /> <br />My eyes are open for the very first time <br />I am moving forward <br /> <br />©2007<br /><br />Bianca Walker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/from-scratch-2/
