Inner Child Redemption

This little girl, once innocent, a creator and vibrant Where did she go? Did she get lost in all that sorrow ? Oh forgotten one. Is it not time to remember? Her pain you need to feel. Hold her close - she needs you in order to heal. She cringed before the collective. Bowed her head in shame. Is this maybe why she forgot her true names? “Put down the paint brush, sit still and be silent. Everything you create will be laughable So is it even worth trying ?” Rather pick up the bottle, Abuse your own temple, Spend 8 years dazed, “Just one more pill - maybe then you’ll feel exalted” Soul starved and ravenous Can you not hear her screaming? The gilded cage could be opened But you choose to hold her captive regardless. you know her grief was strong, you know she was exiled, lonely and angry, you know that you wish you could have protected and loved her fearlessly Though you couldn’t do so then It is your duty to do so now Show her utter love and forgiveness Deep in your soul you know how. Welcome her back into your heart it is there that she belongs And with her here once again You will unapologetically sing your souls song
