To the Inner Child In Me

I see you

The beautiful thing about you, dear one,
is that you still trust —
Them,
Me,
Everyone.
You have every reason to feel lost
and scared
but you are still so trusting of humans.
Long after his fingerprints have faded from your skin (have they really, though?),
your only want is, and will ever be —
Love.

And to still crave something as scary as this takes an immense amount of courage.

I don’t have it —
courage —
as a near-40 y/o woman.
So, I look to you, dear one, and
you fill me with strength,
courage,
and dare I say —
Love.
