Suffocating

These burdens are not my own,
You wanted to leave me an inheritance yet you leave me heartbroken.
I am empty inside, my happiness is stolen.
I have your debts and my dreams.
I cannot be me because it's a sin. 
The problem is that beast comes from within.
I long to be happy, but that joy would hurt you.
You say that you accept me...as long as I keep quiet.
My stomach tightens, my eyes water, my words will not echo what my heart wants to say! 
I am forced to live my life in the shadows.
Is that really living? What have I done?
I mean, besides love someone. My emotions are a rollercoaster ride. I hate this life.
