Little Girl Within
It was time to feel it all
Knowing the journey had been ignored far too longThe pit of her stomach-wrenching in angst
Shallow breaths increased, Heart racing, Hands shaking, Her body remembering. In an effort to soothe the anxiety; She focused on her breathing- The pace and depth-The rise and fall of her chest- Inhaling deeply…Slow purposeful release
A mantra melody replaying in her little mind,
“You are alright right now”, “You are safe in this space” “Breathe in positivity, exhale stress”
After a few minutes, a calmness washed over her
Heart, soul, and body
Almost a therapeutic cleansing, It was so intense her eyes welled up with tears-Tears of strength, A mindful release.
Her hands now steady, Fingers aggressively tapping on the keys, Aiding in her determination to write the words she couldn’t speak.
This time she would dig down deep instead of running, for she had paid the price for far too long and would no longer allow that evilness to steal her sanity.
She had already escaped death, countless times, so this was possible in her mind. Beloved little girl within, you are safe now, and stronger than you think.
I will protect you just as you have hidden away the memories to shield me now Please tell me what you have seen; Let me help you speak the misery. Shackled to the trauma lost in me;
I am ready to remember- It’s my turn to bear the burden of our childhood tragedy, Sifting through the scattered and mangled pieces of reality.
Let’s become the light
