Here Is Me
By Trezure Fenton
I once thought I knew what I wanted.
But I was fooling myself.
I once thought I knew what I had.
But I think I was always sad.
There was once more to me.
Or so it seems.
Now I keep it in. Hold it close.
I feel the things that hurt.
And cry at those that tickle.
I see through myself, see I’m not who I claim.
But no one else does, no one try’s to maim.
The one that I am, who I try.
I once thought that no one cared.
Then I saw they do, but from a distance.
I once thought I was open, and honest and forthright.
Obviously, I’m not.
I once thought I’d never amount to anything, never love.
But I have love, and maybe I’ll make it.
I once dreamed of myself
But now I live
I’ve realized, you cant live the your life thinking of the future
Nor the past
Only today
This moment, this day….now, the now.
One day at a time.
Yet, here I am.
