In Defiance of Disorder

I open my eyes
and set my sights to this moment,
and only this moment.
I let go of all I used to hold
and leave it behind me,
for they cannot touch me
unless I choose to stay.
My thoughts matter not,
no matter how beautiful,
or deplorable.
This breath is the only truth.

I am not whole,
nor am I incomplete.
Adversity introduced me to myselves.
I am many things
now.
They are all true.
Neither wholly good,
nor devoid of goodness;
they simply are and deserve to be.
