The Predicament of Being Present
written by: Ciara
Drifting between realms of glory
Each passing moment
A fighting decision
On whether or not to become
Some actions proceed
Insignificant yet larger in number
Others dilute to nothing
Chief but an incredible struggle
Being stuck in your mind
Is a curse and a blessing as
Imagination is without its
Happy-ever-after ending
Each moment of hesitation
Every decision never made
All thoughts dwelled on too long
Adds up to the majority of everyday
With no current cure
No future remedy
Dreamers are left confined
In their small material world
Escaping to their plots and plans
When one world’s time stops
And another begins
Returning to their silent struggle
I’m a student and writer with a deep curiosity for how people find meaning in the world around them. I love exploring themes of faith, doubt, identity, and human connection through reflective, character-driven writing. When I’m not writing, I’m usually reading, learning about psychology, or finding inspiration in quiet, everyday moments.
