Text in Textfield starts in Middle of TextField IOS

Question

Hello the placeholder text, and the text the user inputs, starts in the middle of my textfield. I have the textfield as 30% of the screen height, so I can't simply make the textfield smaller. How do I make the text start in the top left corner?
