What I Got


All my life I have heard countless things, over and over again, compliments or more so comments from others about me.

I remember the first time someone said I was mature for my age. I asked everyone in authority in my life at the time what "mature" meant. (The mother, the father, the primary teacher) No one could give me a definition that I could understand.
So I took being mature for my age as a bad thing.

****************************************************************************************

I've got presence. I've heard that before, performance after performance as I have done many performances in my life. I've got presence.
It went like this, "You have a presence that, it, you, that, well. . . . "
Apparently, "a presence" isn't definable.
Unlike mature, I am not going to be offended, but like mature, I am going to be curious.
What does presence mean?
I don't want the Webster says on page gazillion and two definition but I want the context it is used in.

And, if I have a presence, where is my future?
