Drabble Challenge #43 [Alternate]

Prompt: take-off

I’ve tried to take them away,
Those pieces of me he does not want
As has been the pattern of my life,
I’ve adapted my needs to the needs of another
Tried to be what he or she wanted… needed me to be

But who am I?
And what do I want and need?
I’ve taken off so many pieces of me,
And hidden them away in the attic of my soul
That I barely even know anymore

Would it matter if I knew these answers?
I’ve made my choices,
Pledged myself to him
I’m staying… for better or worse.
