nothing is Anything
by Melissa Mabasa
Bright lights, casting shadows
nothing is highlighted
The middle is empty
My focus goes there
nothing can be anything
Boundless opportunities
To be whatever I choose
In five minutes, I became a professor, chef, and a ballerina
I walk away from that corner
I am Me again
I step back into who I have been for the past 22 years
Except in those few minutes,
I could be Anything
