Inner Child
Oh my sweet inner child
I hear your sorrowful cries
Of the memories that haunt you
Every day and night
Oh my sad inner child
You have been treated so unjustly
But you do not seek retribution
You only seek to forget
Oh my poor inner child
The sorrows that haunt you
And make you scream and cry out
Are scary and daunting
Oh my pitiful inner child
You mourn the childhood you were robbed of
Your tears are a witness
To the scars on your heart that were meant to love
I'm still looking for healing for us my dear
The time hasn't passed
It's not too late, I'm still a teen.
I can get my innocence back
Right?
But oh my sweet inner child
Remember all the good times
That made being alive worthwhile
And shone a beam of light in our dark existence
It wasn't so bad
Our moments weren't always sad
So just dwell on all the times
That made you smile.
My lovely lonely inner child
