I feel trapped.

I am trapped between who I am and who I want to be.

The person I have to be to be with the one I love.

But I am still me no matter how much I think about it.

I just can not find a way to make us both happy.

I give up what I want.

So they are happy with who they are.

So they can live their life.

The one they have always felt like.

This is the only good thing I can do for them.

I can't say I don't love them.

I can't wear a mask in front of them.

I have to try to protect them from me.

They feel bad for being them.

I never wanted that.

They have been forced to be something else their whole life.

I said enough was enough.

I would never have been enough anyways.
