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
