Here Am I: A Collection of Thirteen Poems

Here Am I is not a book written from the other side of the storm. It was written in the middle of it.

In this raw and deeply personal debut collection, CJ brings together thirteen poems tracing the journey of a man living with bipolar disorder, navigating faith under pressure and learning to accept the gifts God placed inside him long before he knew what to do with them.

These poems do not offer easy answers. They offer something more valuable, honesty! The kind that makes you feel less alone at 3am.

Here Am I is designed for reflection. Each poem is accompanied by space for you to write your own story alongside it.

Part testimony. Part confession. Part love letter to anyone who has ever felt like a burden, a mystery, or a punchline.

This collection was written for you.

It is okay to not be okay. And some days, just being still here is enough.
