And I don't want the world to see me, 'cuz i don't think that they'd understand.

When everything's made to be broken, I just want to you to know who I am.

These song lyrics have been playing over and over in my mind for a few weeks now. And I realized this is exactly what i want. I don't care if the world sees me, though sometimes i know it seems that's exactly what i want. They don't really see me. They don't see all of me. What I want is for you to see me. To BE seen. To be noticed and cared about and fawned over. 

I want you to SEE me. To feel me without me having to touch you. Without having to ask you. 

I want you to know who I am. I want ME to know who I am. I want you to see me for who I am, and not turn away. To stay and stare. Through the good, the bad, the ugly. 

I want you to see, I wish you could see, all the things. All the moments. Everything I've seen. I wish you could see where I've been, what I've conquered. All the scary stuff. The Shizz. The dark places. And hold my hand through it all to the light. 

That's all I want.

Is that too much to ask?
