i want to be 

i want to be bigger than i am
to fulfil the me, i see
the me i shut away
for fear of rejection
i want to be the hero
who breaks out
stands out
this energy drives what?
can't you feel it!
the potential -
ready to explode
there's so much to say
do
leave
break
fear
as it burns
when underneath i just
want to be held
i want to be loved
and love
and to be fulfilled
and i'm scared
i want to be the hero
but perhaps i already am
underneath these tears
and in this heart
in my smile
my eyes
my touch
i am called by God
to bring light to others 

is it too much to ask
to have the light brought
to me?
i'm sick of this waiting
i find emotion
arms reaching out in the night
for nobody
when there should be
i feel
somebody
i just want to be loved
i just want to be
loved
