Inner Child

Inner Child

I live life now
as my inner child
She who lived in
secret for so long
Never allowed
to come out and play
Words tied to her
tongue
left unsaid
Perceptions wrong
every time
Assumptions skewed
Questions unasked
Until finally freed
Now her poetry
tells the story
of who I am now
Unafraid and fearless
Forever young

Sarah is hosting D'Verse Poets tonight
and has prompted us to come and take
a Poetic Selfie. We are to take a look
in the mirror and write about
ourselves so others might see who we are.

I have been writing poetry since I was a child and it has helped in the good times and bad times. I am always looking within to find the answers to life's problems and to write thought-provoking poetry and prose. Thanks for checking it out. Christine

  1. Beautifully, beautifully written. This is so strong and I want to hug the inner child who once felt that way. I’m so happy you feel liberated and can be who you truly are! Much love going your way, Christine. ❤ ❤ You're inspiring.

      I hope I speak for others who have had their light extinguished and their hopes diminished by others growing up. ☺️👍

  12. My reaction to this poem was the same as the one I had when I read Lisa’s poem, I wanted to reach into it and pull that child out and give her a big hug. Poetry is a life saver.

  17. It takes a lot of living to set our inner child free, and to not allow others to define us. It is one of the advantages of age!! A good write.

    1. Thank you Beverly. 🥰 I couldn’t agree more. Confidence and freedom come with age and life experience.

  21. Smiling I am! dVerse really “unleashes” us, right? This is a strong statement of affirmation. I know it sounds trite….but “you go girl!” seems very appropriate here. Let your voice ring out!
