Living In The Moment

June 21, 2014

Once upon a time I wore my clothes too tight and it seems because of that, I didn't get fat.

But then, my mom gave me guilt. She said I needed to slow down, that I was having too much fun.
She said I was unstable and a mother too young.

So I listened to her. Every time I thought became a time that I ate.
I stopped going out. I put on a lot of weight.

I wanted to please her but did things I shouldn't have been doing.
I became destructive and went after people and things I shouldn't have been pursuing.

Instead of my passions I was trying to reach others' goals.
I didn't know who I was anymore. I lost my soul.

I became so lost I couldn't find my way out.
I realized I wasn't me, and I was so filled with doubt.

I went to my God who I know as My Maker.
Through all my rebellion I hadn't been forsaken.

I studied the Word which lead me back to my craft.
I began to put things together by forgetting my past.

Sometimes I get caught up in future plans.
When I catch myself I try to stop, turn on music and dance.
I try to remember that all I can do is live for today.
It's a gift called the present. Enjoying the moment is the only way.
