Inner Child

Inner Child”
 
My inner child seems to appear when Im stunned by fear and my circumstances turn cold
Even though Im an adult shes still an infant incubated hidden deep inside my soul
When the weight of life pressure gets to heavy to bare
And my vigiliant eyes transform into blinded vision and Im no longer aware
 
When Im blindsided and hurt
When my love ones avert
 
The innocent child awakens with unrecognizable worth
Feeble, searching for any consoling outlet to divert
Her speech had froze when uncomfortability arose
 
When desecration debilitated our character
The spiritual nourishment of GOD was administered
Then exhilaration stimulated a fresh narrator
 
Shes just an ordinary ageless undeveloped child
And its been quite a while since Ive seen her smile
 
Camouflaged beneath my surface
Shes vicariously living through my skin for a purpose

Indeed , I as well look back in time and think what happened, it's to easy to go along with this world than against it, only God can reveal this and pull us away from this chaos so many are blindly caught up in, you are so very talented and gifted in your writing, love it, May God bless, comfort, guide and fill you with His love, peace, spirit and joy in abundance to be a beacon of light to shine on the darkness
