MY INNER CHILD AND I

The windows of darkness steals her soul

Takes her to the deep abyss,

Where her cries are left unheard

Her self was his, it's what he stole.

Cold, so cold, her feelings deep

No-where to turn, weary she sits

Frightened and lonely, so scared to reach out

No faith, no hope, she sits and weeps.

My adult self I'm lost within

Powerful memories, that clench me tight,

Engulfs my mind so I don't forget

So close am I to just give in.

Oh how I cry for my self so small

Forlorn and lost, so out of reach,

Whispering gently, I tell her I'm here

I'll keep you safe, tear down your wall.

Her eyes, the window of so much hurt

Deep within, she has no trust,

blame is what she puts on her self

Shackled to the memories, with no self worth.

Her voice so silent, I listen in hope

But gone is she, my mind does scream,

DON'T go, hang on, I love you, I cried

Without you I'm scared, I just can't cope.

In a corner she sits, the darkness her sky

Nothing I say will win her trust,

She's resigned herself to the fate at hand

In herself she sees that's the way she'll die.

My inner child is hurting with pain, frustrated and neglected, abused and ignores me. She is hidden from view so deeply hidden, nothing will help with her escape.

I write this and share this with you as these are my feelings, my hurt, my pain right now, trying so hard to reach that little child in me and I can't, I wrote this for all those who are also having a hard time reaching out to your inner child, just know that we are not alone♥
