The Little Girl Inside

 

For years I felt wrongly placed

And I always thought what I did was misplaced

I never really understood the meaning

So it was always, to me, demeaning

To even come to the conclusion I had

Would mean accepting everything that happens bad

And for that seemed impossible to accommodate the past

 

There’s a part of me a select few know about

And it is something I don’t think to ever bring about

There’s more to someone than meets the eye

You can never guess what kind of life someone has or had until you make a tie

Like I said this has been inside for so long

And I do not think I can prolong

I’ve made a mistake and don’t know what to do

 

My mind plays tricks on me

Making me think that it’s not my fault

Knowing that I am just as much as the problem

And knowing them

This would be something else to just frown upon

Though this is what I have grown up upon

And because of this, it has made me, me unfortunately in a way

 

There is always a part of me that wishes she could get her innocence back

The little girl inside was only there briefly

And I was taken aback

To find reminiscing that she only existed faintly

I wish I could forget what happened

But now and then it comes back to mind like a haunted memory

And I look at myself and judge thinking back to that girl who was then and is now

the innocence is always too fleeting.

it's gone before we know...and we have regrets sure, but what caused them make us who we are ...and they improve us most certainly, even if we carry embarrassment or guilt...

Thank you for your words. They are appreciated and helped me look at this a little differently. Sometimes I found myself dwelling on the past and it upsets me a some.
