She killed!
Tired I came from fields
Laying on couch I sleep
Oh! What a sight to see
A little girl in my dreams
"Hey pretty lady! " I say
She runs with a toy in hand
Hold me and cries
"Please take me somewhere nice"
Looking closer I gasped
I saw me in her face
No more words were exchanged
For I knew what it meant
With pleading hands I begged
"Just die" for her heart bled "
why die when I can be saved,
Maybe even with scars I can live"
"You will ruin me again,
With this past my future will fade"
She looked at me one last time
Had made a mistake I realized
I did what others did,
Killed my inner kid.
About this poem
It's about how our childhood traumas won't let us feel our inner child and how the momories like a toy in It's hand stays with us. How we try to distract ourself by working day and night yet it won't go away .
