When I look into the mirror,
The reflection I see is you.
I no longer recognize myself,
I wish that wasn't true.
Everyday I'm pretending,
I'm disguised with lies.
You are my new identity,
You're the soul behind my eyes.
The only thing I can hear,
Is your voice inside my head.
Where have I gone,
The real me seems dead.
I don't remember who I was,
You have been me for so long.
You made my like seem right,
When everything appeared wrong.
I am captive in your love,
In your chains I am bound.
I'm searching for myself.
The true me needs to be found.

The author's comments:
I hope people will learn to always be true to themself and not to conform to fit someone else's mold because who they are is perfect and doesn't need to be altered to make someone happy. Remember, you were born an original so why die a copy?

I am so glad it inspired you...I hope your relationship either gets better...or you find your way out of it...no one deserves to be trapped behind a mask...blossom into the beautiful creation that you are:)

Well Thank you:)

n don't be ashamed...I obviously felt this way once or I wouldn't have wrote this poem...so as long as you free yourself from who you are wrapped around and become the true you there's no shame in that:)
