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 and torn,

Weighed down by all my mistakes and 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.
