John Castro Poet Rhyme

Inner Child

in the deepest recesses of my heart lies an innocent child 
filled with fear full of despair, afraid of the mile 

he's been lied to decieved and misguided 
and his fears and emotions he does hide it 

he fears the world in all its iniquities 
and the challice runneth over since the days of antiquity 

the stoic progeny whom lies in the depths of my soul can only relfect the darkness that lingers within 
for he has been the incumbent occupant the disembodied scholar of sorrow entrapped in a landscape of sin 

but as my heart grows darker the image of the child fades into perdition 
and the holistic journey of life becomes insuperable as the psyche finds itself in a catankerous battle of subconscious submissions 

the will of the inner child manifests his cries through the conscious corridors of the mind 
and the release of emotions that hindered the heart flow like sweet nectar from a bottle of wine 

we forgive others to forgive ourselves 
so that the hinderance that was placed on our shoulders is now placed on the shelves 

as the darkness of the heart is exposed to the light 
the child that once feared the dark is no longer a creature of the night 

for only the shepard calls to his sheep 
one out of ninety nine the spotless the meek 

redeemed is the child who suffers the path 
saved is the soul who is warned of the wrath
