This poem represents how I as an adult feel going through life. |
The Inner child in me As an adult when life starts to get the slightest bit complex I stand strong: As an adult when life starts to get the slightest bit emotional I put the wall up: As an adult when life starts to get the slightest bit frustrating I run to safety: As an adult when life starts to bring the slightest bit of joy I embrace and stand quiet: As I stand strong the inner child is screaming. As I block the emotions the inner child is breaking the wall.As I run to safety the innerchild runs to confront frustration.As I stand quiet the inner child is dancing with joy. I often wonder is it the inner child who confronts the adult in me: I often wonder is it the inner child who leads the adult in me: I often wonder is it the inner child who calms the adult in me: I often wonder is it the inner child who brings joy to the adult in me: For all this do I want the inner child to leave? For all this will I feel safe without the inner child? For all this will I lose my strength without the inner child? For all this do I want to lose who I am? For all of this is the inner child the adult in me? Virginia Jackson V,E.W |
