Inner Child

I reconciled

My inner child

She had to know

It's time to go

We both agreed

We had a need

We both regret

Was never met

Bad was done

Nobody won

Wiped her tears

Calmed her fears

Held her tight

Through the night

Morning came

Not the same

A scar on me

I set her free

Time to heal

Make it real

No more past

Today at last

Pent up pain

Has no gain

A silent voice

Had no choice

I found mine

My child is fine
