As I Am

As I Am

I don’t need a perfect day
Just someone who won’t look away
When my smile fades or I fall apart
Will you still stay, still know my heart?

I’ve been hiding in plain view
Wondering if I’m too much for you

But love me as I am, not who I try to be
Let me break and still feel free
No masks, no stage, no grand disguise
Just these quiet, human eyes
Love me as I am — gently, slow, and true
I’ll do the same for you

I don’t shine in every light
Some days I barely hold on tight
But even when I’m dim and small
There’s still a spark beneath it all

Don’t need fixing, don’t need fire
Just a hand that walks beside desire

So love me as I am, not who I try to be
Let me break and still feel free
No masks, no stage, no grand disguise
Just these quiet, human eyes
Love me as I am — gently, slow, and true
I’ll do the same for you

If the world forgets my name
Will you whisper just the same?
If I never win the race
Will I still be your safe place?

Love me as I am — this voice, this skin, this soul
Even when I lose control
I don’t ask for perfect days
Just someone who stays
So love me as I am…
And I’ll love you that way
