Just one conversation
Put my hands to work
One ripped out blank page
Added words, left it out and now
Completed with her tear stains
Once was a lifestyle - being crafty
Since then I've always liked to
Yet somehow the criticism chose
To scare this inner child of mine
And all the paper, glue and cellophane
All those unused stickers and colours
Even the rusty child-safe scissors
Added a pop of colour to the once blank page
The tear stains salting the bland
As she read it with trembling hands
She was a people-person and
I the quiet kid who never came out
[(I know you'd beg to differ, kiddo, but shh lol)]
She didn't see it coming neither did I
One little convo that convinced me to go on
My inner child scribbled with focus
Slid it under her door and
Messed with the lights and ran away
Leaving her a text to check under her door
She did the seasoning with tears
I'm not perfect, but I didn't think I could help at all
But there when I listen to my inner circle
That fights to hard to get my inner child back rights
It feels almost magical
A little too good to be true
But it beats me how you do it for me too
Yet I hope she feels more charged now
That she beats the pain
Yet until we can see the moon again
I wish her well.

I was initially wanting to write about how someone I currently rely on so hard... noticing my sudden low, fought hard to lighten me up... and it definitely worked coz well... that's been almost routine for @xyuniverz
Back here... just offered support to someone who I thought needed it a bit ago... thank you for the countless times you've let my inner child find freedom and peace @yzuniverz and for the million more unnecessary and harmful lessons the little me inside will learn to unlearn... also @k00kaholic for being the only one I've done anything handmade #jk for since I got conditioned (I'm sure the circle knows that story of how that went down...) that it was too cliché... #handmade #handmadegifts #getwellsoon #friendship
My precious ppl... I wouldn't let you go even if you wanted me to...

Jul 21 is the birthday... of someone... that pretty much shaped me... so many ways... a huge reason for the life experiences that I have... and part of the undertone of a lot of my work that I'd put up...
