Your Inner Child

My inner self
thinks of me,
when it hides from you.
When your around
it cannot be
what you want
it to.

It shadows me
when I cry.
It's learned
to hide away.
Knowing it would
rather die,
than live another day.

Tucked away,
in my mind.
My inner child
is there.
Silently it has
signed
it's not going
anywhere.
