Woman meeting the inner child
Child of many colour's
Come to me little one
Can't you see I love you dearly,
Do you know who I am?
You have coats of many colour's
never sure which one to wear
Hiding from the world who wants to know you
fearing they may not accept you as you are
I am you my little one
adult now but still you inside
I wear my coats of many colour's
still afraid to show my face
As a chameleon changes colour
when he thinks he needs to hide
I too am always careful
never letting anyone inside
~~~
Notes:
This little poem was inspired by my own experience as a child flowing into adulthood. Always TRYING to fit in. I developed
a keen sense of humour to hide my true feelings, it worked most
of the time but Inside I was and still am that little girl very afraid and never quite measuring up to what I THINK people expect of me.
Looking back, I wrote this piece in 2009, it is now 2013, I think
I am more confused now than I ever was (I smile), hope I get
it right if there is another life to follow this one, I don't know, do
you?
