Inner child

The child within

What is it you seek child within

What is it your heart wants to begin

What are your hopes and your dreams

What are the pains you seek to release

What are the stories the characters that play

What do you believe that has been said or nayed

What brings you the greatest joy

Why do you feel sadness so

Who has said these words to you

Do you believe them

Are they true

Often we carry such pain around

For we are told sternly under loves guise that it is how we are being found

But truth be told it is not to be true

For these words are like venom poisoning our youth

The words for adults are words

But for children they feel them by the score

They feel and do not understand

So they believe it to be truth and carry it throughout their inner lands

Words are like weapons

They inflict pain

Words are our wands to be used as we dare

What if for a moment a pause before the storm

You stop and you ask your own inner child where this comes from

What if before you react outwardly to it all, you check in with your own inner child

Is that child crying, reacting to this?

Is it frozen and cannot cry?

Does that inner child need to be loved and held

Or does that inner child feel like it's about to die

Is your own inner child feeling like this

Perhaps a hug and some playtime will ease some of this

Perhaps in that moment the child in front of you knows that your inner child needs some love

Some nurturing nourishing play.

Do not underestimate the child's feelings in the moment.

It maybe exactly what your own inner child needs most .

Children do not see through the lens of adults minds or eyes

They feel through their senses and don't understand the results.

So when next you wish to react in the moment of time

Ask your inner child what it is it needs and why.

Feel if this is true

Then try out some playtime

Let your inner child run free
