Child

My Inner Child

You tried to murder her inner child,
but she was simply to wild
for your cage to capture her essence. 

She is an incandescent spirit,
your vile soul can only fear it~
return to your dungeon of doom,
and to the curse of your darkened tomb!

Yes, sadly based on a somewhat true experience.

What a powerful write/story and picture you have here. The inner child can be filled with pain. "Good Luck" I did "ONE BRIEF, UNFORGETTABLE MOMENT." Hope You Have a Very Blessed New Year 2026 writing away..........
