My Inner Child

In the hollow of my heart is a girl who's unafraid
Buried deep inside is a girl not gone away 
I can still hear her you see
A faint whisper of who I use to be 
Your Words made her disappear not out of knowingness 
Mostly out of fear 
She hid away but man did she put up a fight 
So innocent and full of knowledge 
Only doing what was right 
Beaten down and degraded 
Hurt and under rated 
She retreated to the hollows of my heart
A faint echoing voice 
I'm still hear I have been from the start
Now when I'm at my lowest 
And I feel the need to die 
I hear that little voice 
And she reminds me why
