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

And 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
