My Inner Child

I see a brown little girl with dark brown hair crying all alone,

Tears streaming down her face and the only thing to be heard is her moan.

I rush to comfort her but the faster I run the farther she seems to be,

She turns towards me and I stop in shock because a little me is what I see.

She says one sentence and I fall to the ground crying “I want someone to love me,”

A weight bears down on my heart, no one has really loved me and I wonder will there ever be.

She comes and sits in my lap now and I sit alone crying with my inner child,

I just pray that this feeling of loneliness will only be with me for a while.
