Love letter to my Inner Child

I often wonder
why I am not heard
why people struggle
to connect with me
my inner child
has been so
hurt she locked
away her vulnerability
to ensure that
she would no longer
feel pain she
mindlessly shallowed
her heart’s key
then she wonders
why she chokes
on her own
self-pity
maybe one day
if I create an
internalised garden
filled with the
wild flowers of
her youth
surround her will
compassionate understanding
this may supply
enough prove
if I become the
one who can
support her
when she feels so
all alone
she will learn to live contently
behind my
heart Chakra
her eternal
home
