As the floodgates open

I always thought
that I was strong
and that any burden,
I could bare,
but it seems I was mistaken,
as I found out today.

For it seems that I
am some what of a hindrence
to the future
of she whom I love,
and that I prevent her
from succees,
I appear to be
something of a liability,
someone untrusted
and corrupted,
from the perspective
of her elders.

And when this came to my attention
I could do nothing more,
than sit there,heartbroken,
as the floodgates open

sorry to bring your attention to this but the word hidrence? Do you mean hindrence?
otherwise an honest poem :)
