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
