Inner Child

I used to be lonely living alone

The silence made me cringe

But over time I started conversing with myself

I heard the voices from within

Together we laughed at myself

Figured things out on our own

The silence no longer existed

It was endless laughter, tears and chatter

The bad things that happened to me

No longer seemed to matter

She encouraged me to be better

We travelled to the depths of my soul

We turned the music up and danced to rock and roll

We took long walks in the park

We sat for hours by the shore

I didn’t feel lonely any more

She helped me release the pains

I had locked within my heart

I felt a new beginning

Time for a fresh start

The conversations never ended

It was an all night slumber party

We would discuss my hopes and dreams

When I looked in the mirror she would hide

But the smile on my face and the sparkle in my eyes let me know she was there inside

Our talks were always about me

She was my inspiration

She showed me how to live simple and free

She was my inner child

She was part of me

I had lost her on my journey a long , long time ago

During my solitude I went deep within

She cried out to me

“Take me home”

I’ll never let her go

She is forever ,my best friend

Til the end
