THE LITTLE GIRL IN ME

Unable to breath the peace and joy that God has woven into you're soul,
You cry, scream and demand answers to the abuse that has taken it's toll.
I kept you as safe as I only knew how,
I cringe and wince feeling the scars left in you now.
My girl, you didn't deserve all the abuse and to not be loved,
They damaged your soul with a smile and then they just shrugged.
How could evil take over such a precious innocent lamb?
It puzzles me today God, I needed your hand.
Protection from the "blackness" was to become part of the walls,
Being small, created a cover to protect you from all.
That same cover has locked you inside a prison of shame,
You're scared and alone waiting for answers that never came.
They were all bad, they did evil bad things,
Just like scorpions all around you, you took all of their stings.
No one loved you, just I... and I couldn't protect you, or we'd die.
I tried to be strong so I could save you one day,
You are safe now my child, with me you will stay.
I will give you the love that you never embraced,
We will play and have fun, ugly past we'll erase.
A blank stoned faced look as they raised their voice to shout,
But now you can cry when the tears need to come out.
My child, laugh, smile, and cry anytime at all,
Get angry, face the demons, climb out from that wall!
I will embrace you and sing to you as mothers do,
You're my precious child, and I'll forever take care of you.
Sleep well tonight little girl,
We've a big day tommorrow,
Rebuilding our life and letting go of the sorrow.

I love you little girl in me...
