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 .
