need to be

with every letter i read

i see their desperate cries to find the missing piece. they just want to believe

someone can take away the burdens they carry. who am i to be here?

i am no different than them. we are the same you see?

i wear my heart on my sleeve

for everyone to see

the man i want to be. i just hope they see you

when they look at me

because you are everything that i need to be. my heart is heavy & torn

weighed down by all my mistakes & the chains i've worn. a constant struggle with fear

unsure if i was enough from the day i was born. but you see the beauty in my flaws;

you pick me up when i fall

show me the way when i am lost. in the eye of the storm you show me i'm not alone

& give me strength to carry on!

i wear my heart on my sleeve

for everyone to see

the man i want to be. i just hope they see you when they look at me

cause you are everything that i need to be.
