I cannot unbecome
who I am,
the product of my family,
inhabiting my story...
I cannot undo
what I have done,
retrace my footsteps
and erase them...
+
I can only begin from here,
where, accepting all
that went before
as a gift, I can grasp
grace
with both hands,
and offer myself
into her presence
+
Here life
and light
dispel
the darkness,
and transformation
becomes
truly
possible,
and I am not rejected
for I have always been at heart
the person I was made
to be!
