Who Am I

I want to write
I want to feel free
I want to take this regret and let it pass
I want to be happy
I want to look right past all my flaws
I want to hold close what 46 years has given
I want to see past that person that pisses me of that day
I want to forget all this fear
I want to live life like it was meant to be
I need to break free of these chains I've locked myself in
I want to not fear what you are going to think of me
I want to believe in myself for once and coast on through
I want to believe i am good enough for all of you
My heart hurts
This struggle is not my own
We all deserve love
We all deserve redemption
But that road is curved the control is in us
I want this world to see me for me
But my question is who am i?
