My Inner Child!
A poem for the carefree girl I left behind
It was my soul’s world to live in, many years ago!
Until maturity and responsibility stole the show!
Through lessons, frustration, and unmet expectations!
Life hardened my soul, by throwing many curveballs!
Battling my way out of every day’s fight,
Somewhere, I left behind my innocence, freedom, and my childish smile!
“What games to play?” was once my life’s only dilemma!
Life never posed itself to be the world’s biggest enigma!
By crying and shouting loudly, I used to get all what I wanted!
Every new day wasn't a sign of new troubles, that my heart daunted!
Much has changed, and so have I!
So immensely adept am I, at now fabricating instant lies!
There is no childish happiness left anymore for you to see, in my eyes!
Someday, lost in my past!
Hope I do find my inner child again!
I hope this time she stays with me, and she never gets lost!
My sweet, carefree, innocent, lively, and forever hopeful inner child!
