A poetic tale of self esteem and the pressure to belong.
I yearn for you to see all of me
To feel the desire, the fire in me
A need for you to reach out to me
To hold and lead this part of me
That lives in the shadow you cast on me
Lost in the fear of being me

I yearn for you to see all of me
For I remain, me
I am me
