My inner child was trapped suspended in trauma
and shock
But no one ever knew or cared enough to unlock
It has been in my later years
I finally let out the full sadness and tears
Abusive childhoods do real life changing harm
People live their lives in turmoil and alarm
Afraid to get close to anyone or really trust
Left to find out about an inner trauma was a
must
My brain was damaged half alive
But to get it all back I continued to strive
At sixty it awoke from sleep
Emotions buried so hidden and deep
