Here I am


Here I am,

Standing upon the front lines,

Braving the harsh winter and the hottest summer.

Here I am,

Walking tall even though I hide among the rest.

Here I am,

Giving advice to anyone who needs it.

Here I am,

Being a bundle of joy whenever I can.

Here I am,

Whispering my thoughts out to the world.

Here I am,

Craving for knowledge.

Here I am,

Humming my pains away.

Here I am,

Hiding the darkness that inside of me.

Here I am,

Blowing past the stereotypes that held me down.

Here I am,

Believing that being here is my purpose.

Here I am,

Among the rest,

Waiting to be called upon.
