The inner child

Some might say you’re on your own

But I have never really felt that way

Even when I am by myself

I am never really alone.

πŸ‘¦πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘¦πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘¦πŸ‘¦

There’s a guy who lives inside my mind

Little Johnny is his name

He’s been around for many years

Full of advice, I always find.

πŸ‘¦πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘¦πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘¦πŸ‘¦

He first appeared when I was a kid

Some say he is my inner child

Comes and goes at his call

But he always knows what I did.

πŸ‘¦πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘¦πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘¦πŸ‘¦

Never scared to tell me ne what for

Sometimes he gives me the shits

But sometimes he’s right and helps me out

He is very hard to ignore.

πŸ‘¦πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘¦πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘¦πŸ‘¦

So, I have just resigned myself

That he is here is here to stay

So, I am never really alone

Even when I am by myself.

πŸ‘¦πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘¦πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘¦πŸ‘¦

Till next time,

Calvin
