Present

It's been a few months, a few hiccups in the road, a few breakdowns, a few losses, a few pick-me-ups, and a few realizations.

I am present. I am here. I am alive

I am present on earth. I am here for a purpose.  I am alive in promise.

People look at me, judge me, ignore me, talk to me. Everyday.

I am. I do. I see.

I am a child of God? I do what God has planned for me? I see where I am headed?

Is there ever a time that I am not present?

When I am shut away in my room. When I am shy. When I am irritable.

But I am still present in the world. I am here for attendance. I am here because I was put here.
