What sacrifices have you made in life?

I gave up so much

To allow you your space

Your desires always met

While I sat on the sidelines

Wishing someone would ask me what I needed

I wanted you to be happy

Even if it cost me mine

My life set aside for everyone else

I made sure you lived yours

I thought it was the right thing to do

I realize now I gave up too much

I see now that you needed me to hold you back sometimes

Im learning now not to sacrifice too much
