So I'm normally all about fashion and trends but today I felt inspired to share a poem in this here forum. It's not for or about anyone, just a momentary bout of creativity. Enjoy folks :-) Dear Inner Child Reading Maya Angelou, remembering how it was Working up to the time one day that you will be the boss Work real hard at school, they say, the world is in your hand But at your age, it shrinks inside as you lift your foot to stand Dear child my word to you is this, as I wipe my inner tear It hurts when you're rejected by those far and even near With every step it's harder still with every door that's shut Never good enough for those that push you further in that rut Who made the rules of right and wrong? Are we not all made the same? So here I stand ready to play and win this real time game We all wish to be better in hindsight is oh so dear Though days will pass with thoughts of self, of sorrow and of fear We all have those, I'm sure that's true, I will never dare to doubt Hence forgiveness, love and tenderness are freely issued out Dear child I urge stand up today and sing that song you sing It's beautiful to see your soul, expressed in art within I'll tell you now, you'll get no joy from holding yourself back Rebel a little from the woe that always made you lack Run if you run, paint from the truth and tell the world your tale Child you will learn, the truth’s the truth, love sweeter than a sale. But hear my words and don't look back this moment is your own When you look within to what you want and build your inner throne No matter what you think you are or what you try to be The only way to get their love is to be what you should be I need to say, you need to hear that whatever gets you down Please step outside with head held high and wear that regal crown My dear, sing for love, sing freedom sing for all the joy it brings Cos I hear the words of Angelou: “ I know why the caged bird sings.”
