The Stranger in Me
A Poem
I no longer know
who I really am
I've turned into a stranger
for the sake of a man.
who I really am
I've turned into a stranger
for the sake of a man.
I've forgotten just how
to be happy with me
I look in the mirror
a monster I see.
As long as you're happy
we have no other cares
I give in to your wants
and puppy dog stares.
I'm not quite sure
how it got this way
I haven't a clue
just why I stay.
I could go on
with this story of woe
but you'll never get it
you don't want to know.

Thank you Michele, it has been your words that got me through this painful experience!
we have all felt this way like we are not being heard but they do love us for who we are he is still that wonderful guy you fell for years ago always remember that!!
I hope this one is not too autobiographical! Nicely done, but painful.
