Erica Onwude Poet Rhyme

Inner Child

Oh my sweet inner child 
I hear your sorrowful cries 
Of the memories that haunt you 
Every day and night 


Oh my sad inner child 
You have been treated so unjustly 
But you do not seek retribution 
You only seek to forget 


Oh my poor inner child 
The sorrows that haunt you 
And make you scream and cry out 
Are scary and daunting 


Oh my pitiful inner child 
You mourn the childhood you were robbed of
Your tears are a witness 
To the scars on your heart that were meant to love 


I'm still looking for healing for us my dear 
The time hasn't passed 
It's not too late, I'm still a teen.
I can get my innocence back 
Right?


But oh my sweet inner child 
Remember all the good times 
That made being alive worthwhile 
And shone a beam of light in our dark existence 


It wasn't so bad 
Our moments weren't always sad 
So just dwell on all the times 
That made you smile.



My lovely lonely inner child
