i see you as you are

I am just a passer by

But I see you as you are

You are lonely

Wearing your heaviest mask,

Feeling the weight of your insignificance

As you drag your misguided feet

You have been lead astray

You have chosen many wrong paths

So hang your head down low

But you cannot hide if from me

For I was once there

I extend my heart to you

Dear broken stranger

As I mutter a simple prayer

You are not alone

I am here with you

I am just a passer by

But I see you as you are

Don’t be afraid my secret friend

Look me in the eyes

And see the faith the world has in you
