Little Girl

Little girl, so innocent and pure  Living a life you couldn't endure  You took all the pain and kept it inside  Looking for a corner in which you could hide.  Little girl, wanting Daddy's love  Enmeshed in the web that he wove  Knowing it was wrong but feeling it was right  The tears that were shed all alone in the night.  Little girl, the years have been so sad  Looking for something that you've never had  Looking for answers in all the wrong places  Looking for love, but finding just traces.  Looking for love that you sought in the past  Feeling that this time you might make it last.  But now my eyes are open, at long last I can see  Just what it is I have to do to finally be free.  I'm going to take my life back  For this too is my world  I'm going to have to let you go  My sad eyed little girl.  Too long I've carried you around  Too long I've felt your grief  Too long I've cried without a sound  The pain beyond belief.  But now that I have grown up  I've got to let you go  Goodbye my own sweet little girl  And yes, I love you so.

Additional Notes:
This poem is for the survivors of abuse of any kind. We all have an inner child, who is the Keeper of all our childhood memories and the feelings that are attached to them. In order to begin the healing process you need take those memories from the child and go through the feelings that are attached to them one by one. Experience each one as an adult. When you are finished with each one, simply let it go. When you have finished with all of them, you will have set both you and your child free. Do not attempt this unless you feel you are absolutely ready, and make sure you have the guidance of a good Therapist. It is not an easy thing to go through. However it's extremely powerful and effective. It's how I healed myself.
