My inner child

My inner child Today I reconnected with my inner child, I realised how she once always smiled, Her innocent glowing face is now tear stained, And full of expressions so pained, I need her help to find out who Im supposed to be, I'd long forgotten my own identity but she knows me, I had to leave her behind I had to try and survive, But now here I am face to face with a little girl who's emotionally deprived, Life with me was no place for a child you see, I did it to protect her and me really, I hope she understands, Because now as we take each other's hands, We walk back through the past into the present Aiming for the future, Now I understand that to find myself I need her Because only together will we both smile once again
