Exceptional Making peace with one's inner child Little One by Rdfrdmom2 Inspired by blah blah blah's The Inner Child Inside of Me

Little One, don’t be afraid Because of choices others made Come on over, talk to me I may be able to set you free From demons invading your sleep And barriers which make you creep Those times you yearn to play and run Participate in all the childhood fun Stolen from you years ago By a pedophile so vile and low   Little One, wrapped in a ball It’s time for you to stand up tall To realize you should feel proud For tossing away shame’s ugly shroud That was never truly yours to wear The blame was not your lot to bear No matter what he said to you Demons’ words are seldom true Designed only to absolve their part And place burdens on your tender heart   Little One, gaze into my eyes My respect for you can’t be disguised Your courage and strength is growing strong You’ll one day sing your victory song By realizing you were never to blame For being the spawn in a sick man’s game By tackling the issues tying you in knots For accepting help in connecting the dots You’re finding out what’s really true You’re discovering who’s really YOU!                      jbh                6-23-08 Recognized Author Notes Many writers on this site seem to share a common history of some type childhood abuse be it physical, emotional, sexual or a combination of all mentioned. Some have been more successful than others in finding and releasing the voice of the inner child which was squelched all too soon. While this is a direct response to blah blah blah's very moving poem about being challenged to look for and talk to her inner child, it is dedicated to all of us who share that bond that forever ties us together. Those of us who have been blessed to have our childhood voice back have a unique and distinct responsibility to help those who haven't find theirs. I am so very proud of Meghan as she searches for hers.
