Child Inside
Childe Inside
Sadness falls over me
I can feel my heart aching
Remembering
That little girl
Child Inside
Hurt and alone
Never fitting in
Wanting so bad to break down
Feeling strong for everyone
She will never have a chance to
Let those tears fall
Let go of the pain
Child Inside
Tears fill up my eyes
As I reminisce about days gone by
The sadness, pain, confusion
Guilt and shame
Made growing up difficult
Child Inside
Remembering how
Not knowing where I belonged
Never comfortable in my own skin
Always doing my best to fit in
Wanting just one real friend
Knowing the ones I had were fake
I never honored
The wish that came from inside
It has taken a very long time
For me to see
The real me
To embrace my
Child Inside
Letting her feel
Comforting her when she is down
Picks me up
Helps me keep going
Feeling so much better
Knowing the pain
Is over
I can move on
Embracing my her
Acknowledging that we are one
Me and my
Child Inside
