The Inner Child In Me...
5 November, 2004
Author: Terrie*
the child in me
sometimes I'd like to return
to the child that I was
to be free of worry and stress
having all the attention drawn upon me
for all the cute little things I do
and all the things I have learned
and the things I may have said
when I was pretending to be all grown up
no matter how much I camoflauge my life
I will still be me
the person that I am
and got to know
i'd love to run wild in the meadows flying a kite
without a worry in my blood
but then I am so happy and content
of the woman that I am
I love and respect the grown ups
and children in my life
even though it is nice to visit the child in me
and reminisce of things in the past
of swings, bubblegum and carnival rides
I still love being the woman that I am
I can still run wild in the meadows flying a kite
and do all the things I once did as a child
only difference is that
I can do this with out having to pretend
by just closing my eyes
and still continue to live my life
by being me all grown up
because when I open them back up
I return back to being me..

Terrie* (65.148.213.31) -- Saturday, November 6 2004, 05:45 pm after a code..i catch myself daydreaming alot(keeps me from going insane) my means of escape at that moment...and returning to the child that i was puts me in a warm blanket comfort zone....(if i could think that far back in time i'd probably return as an embryo) normally i think of running & twirling in the rain allowing every raindrop to release and cleanse every fear every worry and every bad thought away.. 'aye my innocence gives me my way.....LOL.... the innocence did indeed feel Great... |
