A small child inside of me is kicking and crying
She is in pain and pleads that I stop lying
For I try to ignore her and pretend that she is not there
So now she thinks that I just do not care.

This small child inside of me is so sad
What does this mean? Am I really so bad?
She lost her voice because she screamed so hard
Now she is fragile and scared and scarred.

The small child in me feels so alone
For I have left her to constantly moan
But all she really wants is my attention
But this is way beyond my comprehension.

I try to reach out to the child in side of me
All she asks for is to be set free
To be free of the pain she has held on to all these years
I am holding her now and wiping away her tears
