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
