every time I closed my eyes
drifted far away from this realm
I saw a little girl
with dark skin and natural curls
she used to be so carefree
playing soccer, climbing trees
cycling around the field
she looked like a monkey on wheels.
she used to be so at ease
but I made her remember
all the mean words anyone has ever
said to her.
every day I see
a little girl staring back from afar
her old wounds have healed
and become beautiful star-like scars.
I used to hate those curls
now I would share it to the world.

(it is so important to connect with our inner child. listen to them. hug them. tell them it will be okay in the end.)

The inner child never grows up?

It’s like a trip to memory lane. Inner child is what we made of our childhood experiences. For some people, they can be older. For some other people, they stay at a specific age. It’s what they experienced as a child, through different stages in their lives, and how they feel about things now might shape what their inner child looks like, their personalities, their attitudes etc.
A lot of us suffered things before we knew it, so those experiences can run deep into our subconscious minds. That’s why we need to connect with what we felt as a child, what we feel now, and reconcile with everything in order to heal and move on.
