Dream Life

                                           Honor the little girl inside of you, the little girl that was abused, hurt, abandoned, who felt she was never enough. Let her feel safe, let her  know she is loved, tell her everyday. Make her feel so special, she deserves it, keep her clean and warm and nourish her with the nutritious foods. Let her feel free. Let her embrace the  things she loved doing, skating in the park, jumping on the trampoline, painting, running, swimming, making sandcastles, girly sleepovers, making stories, playing dressup. It might sound silly, it might sound irrelevant but honouring the little kid inside of you is going to bring you so much joy and fulfilment. That little version of you, still exists, and deserves to be honoured. Give yourself the love and care, and joy that was stolen from you as a child.

                                             I miss the excitement, I miss having arms around me, As our laughs twirl through the air, I miss the way a touch can speak, when words aren't enough How hands become artists, painting my body, From head to toe, Caressing my face, Tracing my spine; It made me feel alive; But now, I'm scared of being touched, And not because their touch hurt, But because of how much it hurts, When their touch stops.
