I am a girl. But not a girl, I am a canvas.

I am a blank piece of paper, ready to be made into a masterpiece.

Make me into something pure, something raw,

So that I can show the world my colors.

The making is up to you. Take control. Be in charge of your own canvas.

I'll bet you turn out to be a masterpiece, Casey.

If what you seek you find not within yourself, you will never find it without.

Your poem is a wonderful expression of surrender and trust. If the artist you're speaking to is someone other then yourself, I hope they prove worthy of it.

Beautiful thought, I wish I had written it.

Yes, Michael! Exactly!

I would like to see what that canvass develops into with the passage of time and the accumulation of joys and pain, anger and fun.

I am not sure what kind of little splashes of color that touching you with MY brush might provide.

BUT I KNOW that the canvases hangin next to you in the studio are blessed to have the glow of your becoming to live in.

I got what you are saying: you are just starting out on adulthood and you are wondering what your future holds in store for you. We are all shaped by our environment and our various experiences so it's not necessarily like you are waiting for a man to tell you how you will become. I think you are waiting for things to unfold.
I would think the canvas is more than just primed.

You are young - this piece of work created by you definately displays an insecure girl with a lot of growing up to do.

A woman should be strong, confident, independent - these are all qualities clearly absent from your work and the author.

You have to step out of that canvas and face the world. Don't let others paint you; you paint them the way you want to.
