I Can't

Brie

How I feel and how I want to feel,

they consistently fight

What I want and what I need,

they just aren't compatible

The person you are and who I want you to be,

it's all in my head

The difference between reality and illusion,

I just refuse to see it

Seeing what I want to see, and seeing what's really there,

I just don't want to

Knowing something isn't right, and admitting it to myself

I just won't

I just can't

    Saw my mother go through this once, when she found out my father cheated on her.
    She tried her best not to believe it, but she did. Told herself a single lie, and she suffered because of it.
    Just a little story as thanks for the poem.
    Best regards.

      Yes, often denial is a big thing when it comes to these situations. I find denial can be used in various areas, where as this one refers to a sense of what one wants over what one needs, and whether that be a relationship, or simply not being in one at all because of this person. Best wishes to your mother, and thank you, very glad you enjoyed the poem.
